If you know someone on Hotmail, try sending them an email with this code; I bet they'll find it in their Bulk-Mail folder. I don't know any way around this from your end. Your users have to specifically exclude the 'from:' address you are using. Would it be worth your time to have a monthly newsletter, something they would want enough to go to the trouble of doing that?
