I think that the man said that yahoo is working fine and probably he 
should know if he expressly blocked hotmail.

check if you have a working route to a hotmail mail server.
if trace-ing doesn't work maybe icmp packets are dropped along the line; 
check if telnetting to smtp port works.
if all ok check log from your mail server and see what is going on; 99% 
you should be blocked either because you don't have a reverse dns entry 
for your server's ip addres or you are open to relaying.
Anyway if route is ok you should have the necessary info in your logs. 
Maybe if you'd post them you'd get helped a lot better and sooner. 
Consider posting questions along with more detailed info that would help 
others to help you.
