Is anyone else having trouble getting mail sent to hotmail.com?  I've had
connections to their mail server die in mid-connection for the last three
weeks now.  Here's a sample "conversation", as reported by sendmail -v:

"Sunshine Bear" <grooveglow@hotmail.com>,"Tom Mitchel" <bentevents@hotmail.com>,"Israel Bate" <dj_bliss@hotmail.com>... Connecting to mail.hotmail.com. via smtp...
220 constitution.hotmail.com Server SMTP ready at Mon, 28 Oct 1996 13:24:35 -0800
>>> HELO taz.hyperreal.com
250 constitution.hotmail.com Hello taz.hyperreal.com
>>> MAIL From:<owner-nw-raves@hyperreal.com>
250 Ok
>>> RCPT To:<dj_bliss@hotmail.com>
250 Ok
>>> RCPT To:<bentevents@hotmail.com>
"Tom Mitchel" <bentevents@hotmail.com>... Deferred: Connection reset by peer during client RCPT with mail.hotmail.com.
>>> RCPT To:<grooveglow@hotmail.com>
"Sunshine Bear" <grooveglow@hotmail.com>... Deferred
>>> DATA
>>> QUIT
"Israel Bate" <dj_bliss@hotmail.com>... Deferred

I've email root@, postmaster@, bugs@, comments@, sales@, and
info@hotmail.com without an answer.  Tons of folks on my mailing lists are
subscribed there, but if I have to do a global removal and forbid future
subscribers.  Email *from* hotmail folks to my machine work fine; in fact,
messages with only one or two recipients work fine too, which is how I was
able to send mail to folks @hotmail.com to tell them about the problem.

Is anyone else seeing this?  I'd like to think it wasn't just me or my
machine...

	Brian
