We're having a lot of deferrals with connection timeouts for mail destined
to hotmail.com, some of the IP's in question are accessable breifly from
other locations before they start timing out as well.

This is resulting in a lot of hotmail.com bound email backfilling in
our queues.

Is this some new tarpitting or throttling mechanism, anyone else
experiencing it?

Can a hotmail admin contact me off-list?
