email strange behaviour
we have both been having some difficulties with sending email to any of our friends with hotmail email addresses.
New written emails form us to them don't get through and don't generate a delivery failure message. If we do reply on a mail from the other party, which appears to have exactly the same recipient address info, the message is delivered properly. We use different email tools (Thunderbird and Eudora) on different windows (Vista and XP) machines with different processors (intel and amd) but all mail goes out through the same ISP/mail server.
It is most frustrating as we get no info to suggest a failure to deliver.
Why?
I wonder if it would be better if we open our own hotmail accounts and send through them?
Help.
