best thing to do is run Ethereal trace of TCP conversation and see EXACTLY who says what to whom and EXACTLY when or why it fails.

You could always use a telnet client to connect to a hotmail MX server and try to send an email by hand - see directly what's going on, such as error messages. I also remember someone talking about that error message along with DNS issues. If memory serves, it occurs when XMail can't find the IP address for the MX as in the server. Correct me anyone if I'm wrong :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edinilson J.
