And you expect somebody in this group to help you how? This isn't a place
where MSN Hotmail staff responds to Hotmail questions; nor even where
Microsoft paid staff responds to user questions (though some MSFT staff hang
out on their own time). These groups are for Microsoft users to offer user
to user tips and assistance in using Microsoft programs. If it was something
about the way that MSOE worked, I could probably offer a suggestion, or a
confirmation that it can't be done.

What happens after the SMTP server accepts a message for delivery is beyond
what technical expertise anybody in these groups can offer as assistance. Of
course, if you are just ranting about the uselessness of Hotmail for time
critical messages, there is the old adage; "you get what you pay for". So,
demand your money back from Hotmail.

{And, yes, I know that Hotmail does have a fee service; and a support
contact address for that service. If you are using the fee service, you are
still in the wrong place to seek assistance.}
