Has anyone seen issues with hotmail receiving emails several days after
they are sent. We are not getting bounces, just long delays in what appears to be hotmails posting to inboxes.
We've been seeing lots of server timeouts and connection resets to
hotmail.com and msn MXs over the last couple of days. -Alan Hotmail and MSN have decided that "printed-quotable" and "rich text" formats (the ones with = signs at the end of lines, are not valid emails. Trying to deliver such to their servers gets you dropped with no error message of any kind so the emails sit in the queues trying to go. Sending a plain text email and it goes thru immediately. Geo.
