There have been increasing number of posts on forums about problems with email delivery to Hotmail/MSN domains in the last few weeks.

As the numbers seemed to be higher than usual, I made some enquiries and received a response which I will summarise here.

Apparently they changed something at the beginning of April, that has caused problems for "small senders" (their words, not mine).

The suggestions are as follows:

1. Submit a support web form for assistance:

2. Apply for Smart Network Data Services http://postmaster.live.com/Services.aspx#SNDS
