Any emails I am sending out to Hotmail addresses tonight via Orcons' mail servers are bouncing with the following message returned.

#< #5.0.0 SMTP; 550 OU-002 (COL0-MC4-F29) Unfortunately, messages from 60.234.4.76 weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors.> #SMTP#

Is Orcon on a Microsoft "Spam" list?

OU-002 at that link says

550 OU-002

Mail rejected by Outlook for policy reasons. Reasons for rejection may be related to content with spam-like characteristics or IP/domain reputation. If you are not an email/network admin please contact your Email/Internet Service Provider for help.

Interesting this occurred at about the same time Amazon's mail service was blacklisted by Spamhaus, Microsoft, Yahoo, and a few others.
