It looks like the Subject: header of the message is in Greek and is
RFC2047 encoded in the iso-8859-7 character set.

For some reason, Hotmail doesn't accept this.

This is a Hotmail (Microsoft) issue. I don't know if communicating with
them would help or not.

You could change Mailman's encoding for Greek from iso-8859-7 to utf-8,
but this is an involved process. You have to recode Mailman's
messages/el/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po and templates/el/* and any custom
templates from iso-8859-7 to utf-8, run msgfmt to recompile
messages/el/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.mo and also recode any Greek strings in
the list configurations. There is a script at
<https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/recode_list> (mirrored at
<http://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/recode_list>) that can help with
this last step.

I also don't know that changing the encoding from iso-8859-7 to utf-8
will help with this Hotmail issue or not, but it might be worth a try.
