Sadly still true. A few helpful hints we've been giving people:
- make sure your MTA isn't latching onto just one MX, or
just one IP address within each MX record;
- things clear up overnight & on weekends, though I'm
sure that'll change once word gets out;
- don't send (or relay, or forward) spam.
I'll post another update if anything changes.
(Disclaimer again: this is from my personal account; I do work
for Hotmail, and I'm directly involved with inbound mail, but
I'm not the escalation path you're looking for.)
