Yes, hotmail is very erratic in its mail acceptance (which isn't done
through qmail - they only seem to use qmail for outgoing mail)
On some mailing lists I run, there's usually at least one outgoing
message that will bounce from all the hotmail.com addresses on the list.

ditto yahoo.co.uk - for the same reason. Their MX hosts are regularly
too busy.
Many sites also bounce mail with 'unknown user' at certain times of
the day. Anyone would think they weren't updating user-lists
atomically...
