Chances are that the mail is being sent OK.
But Hotmail have very aggresive anti-spam systems.
I think that their (often moronic) users can flag messages as Spam.
If enough of them do it then that will temporarily block *all* mail
from the originating IP address.

That IP may be that of your Server, or you hosting company may well
send all outgoing server-originated mail through Gateway(s). That IP
may be blocked.

But you should have had a bounce message from Hotmail...
