Hey there,
hotmail made some changes to their spam rules a couple of weeks ago.
These changes are working for me at the moment....
1) Ensure that the hostname specified in .MyHostName has a DNS resolution to the interface from which the internet sees you transmitting.
2) Adding these headers meant my mail got delivered:
Smtp1.Message.Headers.Item( X-Mailer ).value= Microsoft Exchange V6.5
Smtp1.Message.Headers.Item( X-MimeOLE ).value= Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5
Smtp1.Message.Headers.Add X-Priority , 3
Smtp1.Message.Headers.Add Bounce-To ,MailSender
Smtp1.Message.Headers.Add Errors-To ,MailSender
Smtp1.Message.Headers.Add Return-Path ,MailSender
The ones that seemed to do it were the last 3.
I tried the M$ exchange spoof because I thought that M$ were trying to stuff everybody (again)
Hope this works for you as well.
Cheers
Chris

Gaston,
I cannot be sure, but hotmail may be rejecting emails coming from dialup - if you're on dialup this could be a problem.
Usually MyHostname will contain name of your host as known on the internet. If this is not the case, you should set it up that way.

ADSL is also dialup since it has dynamic IP. You may need to use Hostname property and put there's your ISP's mail server.
But, as I said, I could be completely wrong here...

If you are sending directly (not using your isp as a relay):
I know that most incoming servers are doing a reverse lookup on the hostname supplied, against the ip address of the sending host.
If these do not match then they reject as spam, but you can see this happening in the smtp transcript.
This is why I like this component - cos I can actually see what happened message by message, instead of trawling through the smtp log on a relay server...
