I've been seeing this for about five weeks - all MXes off line at the same time, for an extended period. From my logs, it doesn't appear to have got noticeably worse in the last week or so. I have been actively discouraging the use of a hotmail address on my mailing lists since October; there's far too high a rate of hotmail accepting and then silently swallowing the message. (Not consistently, so it's probably not a misguided spamfilter, but this is a possibility.) Roger
