	Known issue.  It should be resolved now, but everyone else is
	unspooling too, so the load is still high.

	In general, though, if you think your mail is being blocked by
	MSN Hotmail, the following links should help:

	http://privacy.msn.com/anti-spam/
	http://www.advertising.msn.com/adproducts/Email_TechStd.asp
	http://www.advertising.msn.com/adproducts/Email_BulkDupe.asp

	(Disclaimer: I work for Hotmail.  This is my personal account, 
	from which I've been reading NANOG for some years, except for the 
	occasional hiatus.  While I try to be helpful, it appears that I
	often have to remind people that I don't speak for Microsoft and 
	am rarely the escalation path they're looking for.)
