Hotmail just died again

FYI.  If your list has had any messages in the last 48 hours, you 
probably just lost all your Hotmail users.  Again.

The current blurb tacked on to the resub message for Hotmail 
users is this:

"If you're a Hotmail user and the error provided was 'SMTP; 554 
Transaction failed', you should be aware that this is recurring 
problem.  Hotmail bounces everyone's mail like this regularly, and 
there's nothing we can do.  We strongly recommend resubscribing 
with a different address, since Hotmail has done this for the better 
part of a year (so far) with no indication it's going to improve.  It's 
not just listmail, either - anyone else who tried to send you mail 
during this time period got rejected, including your friends and 
family."

Yahoo is doing the delay thing again, but at least it's not returning 
permanent errors, and the stuff eventually goes through.  Why are 
people so enamored of freemailers anyway?
