First off, I'm not a sendmail expert so I'm not going to comment on your
setup.  However, I know that hotmail has filtered in the past based on IP
address.  A business associate of mine has had problems sending to hotmail
accounts for this reason.  It took a lot of calls to hotmail to remedy the
issue.  I'm not saying this is your problem (there may be an issue with your
configuration) but I am mentioning it as an avenue for you to consider.  The
fact that mails to rediffmail are going through could signal this as well.
