[plug] [OT] hotmail hostility

[Bennett, Phillip]

IIRC, it was on the Register or The Inquirer that they mentioned that hotmail 
is putting in limits to the number of addresses a message can be sent to (for 
spam reasons).  Looks like there was over 50 addresses on the mailing list 
and this is probably why it rejected it...

HTH,
Phil.
