***Send mail to hotmail.com

When a test user input information on a webpage and click on Send button, an ASP page will use CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") to send the information to my hotmail.com mailbox. When I tested the ASP page, my hotmail.com mailbox did not receive the message. When I changed the code to send the mail to my other email accounts, I got the message. Does anybody know why? Thanks.

Take a look in the event logs on your SMTP server to see if there's anything
about mail delivery failing to hotmail.com. As long as you aren't getting
any errors or anything, you're not having an ASP issue. All that cdonts
does is drop a text file (your e-mail) in the SMTP server's pickup
directory. So, as long as that's happening, your ASP code is fine.

For a start, Hotmail is blocking a number of types of email due to the
large amount of spam. If you use a dynamic IP address you might get
blocked by quite a few systems for example.
