Postfix not sending hotmail

Hi;

When ever we try to send hotmail thought the postfix system, it does
hot go through. Here is the output from /var/log/mail:

Dec 5 16:26:52 mail1 postfix/qmgr[556]: D88CE94026:
from=<xxxxx@xxxxx.com>, size=588, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Dec 5 16:26:59 mail1 postfix/smtp[1168]: D88CE94026:
to=<xxxxx@hotmail.com>, relay=mx3.hotmail.com[65.54.244.200], delay=7,
status=sent (250 <20051205212652.D88CE94026@xxxxx.xxxxx.com> Queued
mail for delivery)

It says Queued, but hotmail messages never get through. Any help would
be sincerely appreciated.

Try connecting directly to port 25 at hotmail's relay, go through the
normal dialog, and see if it complains. They may not allow relaying
(most likely).

The mail has been relayed. Maybe it's blocked (send to nirvana), because of
some spam issues with your host. Try checking this at www.dnsstuff.com.
Also take a look in the spam folder in the hotmail web interface. Just a
suggestion.
