_Hotmail's_  httpmail servers run on port 80, as you are implying.

But  note  that  it's  possible  to  run  httpmail  on  any port, even
including  25,  but  that would defeat the purpose of a tunneling mail
transfer protocol.

Well that rather confirms that this traffic is likely being generated by a zombie. I didn't think OE clients go through http mail to Hotmail would send on port 25.
