outgoing server: smtp.live.com - this is on port 25.

It sounds like maybe your ISP could have recently filtered this to prevent spam.

If I might suggest you give them a call and ask if they are blocking port 25 to hotmail? Most are pretty reasonable and will make a hole for you : )

An easy way to test this though is to open up a terminal and type

telnet smtp.live.com 25

If you get something that looks like the following, then it's definitely not your ISP:

Code:

root@neptune:~# telnet smtp.live.com 25
Trying 65.55.162.200...
Connected to smtp.hot.glbdns.microsoft.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 BLU0-SMTP206.phx.gbl Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.4675 ready at  Thu, 2 Sep 2010 03:22:15 -0700

If it just hangs at "Trying" then your ISP has cut you off.
