Default Hotmail + PBW = Oil + Water

I have been gettign scads of bounced emails today for Messages from PBW that could not be delivered. All of them are from the Hotmail postmaster. The way I figure it either Hotmail is having a problem in general, or they have decided that PBW is a spammer and started blocking us.

Can any PBW'ers that have hotmail accounts as your PBW email tell me if you are getting anything at all? Turn notices, game news, etc.

I use Hotmail for all my PBW mail goodness. I am receiving game notices, and turn notices as usual.

Nope, 2 MB. IMHO, most likely spam filters are hyperactive in the accounts that are bouncing.

I bet the Hotmail boxes are just full of spam

Displaced Hotmail Users should find other services, there's plenty out there.

I have been having the same problem quite often with Hotmail, as *many* emails bounced from this... erh... thing will do. The size for the attachments is supposed to have been reduced to 512ko as well, but I cannot remember where I read it.

I receive new turn notifications, but i had to include all game owners emails into safe list. Otherwise emails from them are put into Junk Folder automatically.
