Hi,
maybe the IP, from which you try to connect to hotmail, is a dialup/home user IP. Hotmail knows about these IP ranges and - AFAIK - blocks them.
Try connecting by hand, maybe that gives you more info:
telnet 65.55.37.72 25
<Look at what the other side says>
<Put in your hostname, e.g. dig -x your-external-ip>:
ehlo <hostname>
<see what hotmail says>
quit
Post the full text of that "conversation" here, don't cut away anything.
HTH,
Upuetz
