Hotmail bouncing email

Fri Apr 23 15:16:59 UTC 2010

We had a customer of ours call and ask the same thing this week.  They
run their own Exchange server, and they were getting delivery failed or
delayed to Hotmail account.  Issues started on Monday and I as far as i
know, the issue went away yesterday.
