Did you CC or BCC all your friends?
If you CC a lot of people, that can be taken as an indicator of spam. As for standards, well email-wise we're living in a swamp, and the recommended practice in many instances is to ignore the standard (e.g. not bouncing mis-addressed mail) or exploring the more interpretable edges of the standard (e.g. greylisting) The cure is to charge for sending email, but for most that cure is worse than the disease. Lastly, get your friends to dump hotmail and get gmail. They won't regret it.
