I haven't used sendmail itself, but I can tell you you shouldn't send directly to the hotmail smtp server. They probably will block you as spam because they don't know where you're coming from. You should relay through your ISP's outgoing smtp server. With roadrunner that's
<a href="http://smtp-server.kc.rr.com">smtp-server.kc.rr.com</a>. It allows any clients within the RR network to connect and relay out through it. If it still bounces, you should make it appear to come from a RR address like
<a href="mailto:MyAnsweringMachine@kc.rr.com">MyAnsweringMachine@kc.rr.com</a>. The problem, I'm guessing, has less to do with sendmail, and more to do with bounce policy at hotmail and other email carriers.<br><br><div>
