Has anyone seen issues with hotmail receiving emails several days after they are sent. We are not getting bounces, just long delays in what appears to be hotmails posting to inboxes. Some customers have waited 2 days to see an email reach their inbox. We have tested this from not only our domain but yahoo's webmail service as well. -- Regards, ------------------------------------------- Michael D.

Yes, but vice versa, I have received e-mails over the last few days that are literally weeks old....

We have tested this from not only our domain but yahoo's webmail service as well. We've been seeing lots of server timeouts and connection resets to hotmail.com and msn MXs over the last couple of days. -Alan -- Alan Sparks, Sr. UNIX Administrator asparks@quris.com Quris, Inc. (720) 836-2058

Hotmail and MSN have decided that "printed-quotable" and "rich text" formats (the ones with = signs at the end of lines, are not valid emails. Trying to deliver such to their servers gets you dropped with no error message of any kind so the emails sit in the queues trying to go. Sending a plain text email and it goes thru immediately. Geo.
