My USA-based ISP has been reporting issues related to delivering email 
to Hotmail/MSN addresses, on and off for several months.

I don't believe I have a single real correspondent (out of several 
thousand) who uses such an address, but as a long term anti-spam 
campaigner, who has received huge amounts of email with forged hotmail 
addresses, I'd be interested to hear more detail about what's really 
going on here.
