When the hotmail account tries to send me an email it gets reply:

You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance,
contact your system administrator.

You can stop using SORBS. You can stop using SORBS combined DNS RBL
and start using the individual RBLs that suit your taste. You can
start white listing IP addresses. You can ue a spam filter instead of
relying on the absolute YES/NO rigidity of DNS RBLs.

As for SORBS, they've always had a policy that punishes the innocent.
Cough up fifty buck so get off the list. Like Hotmail's gonna do that
(or any ISP)!

Spam Database

Listing is manual and is performed when any spam is received at a
SORBS spamtrap. SORBS spamtraps include, but are not limited to, the
private email addresses of the SORBS admins. On occasion, when a
particular network is seen to be spamming and the listing of a single
IP address seems to have no effect, increasingly larger sections of
the netblock will be listed. If spamming continues, the size of the
listing will be slowly expanded (depending on the number of spams
received) until something is done about the spammer.

Delisting. If the size of the listing is anything more than a single
IP address, delisting can only take place when the spammer is no
longer using the address space, in which case the size of the listing
will be reduced down to the originally spamming IP addresses free of
charge. The affected IPs (the ones used to send the spam) will only be
delisted when US$50 is donated to a SORBS nominated charity or good
cause. The charities and good causes SORBS approves will not have any
connection with any member of the SORBS administrators, either past or
present.
