Hotmail is not accepting my Web User Confirmation emails

Maybe a workaround is using SMTP instead of mail() for sending those mails?

How would that make a difference? mail() just calls the SMTP transport mechanism.

The difference would be if you’re using the SMTP of your ISP, or from Gmail, instead using the one from your host. (Assuming hotmail accepts mails from those ...)

Oh I see what you mean. Use a *remote* SMTP server versus the one on your server. Still don’t see how that makes a difference here. SMTP is SMTP no matter what machine it comes from. As long as you have proper DNS settings set up for, it couldn’t possibly change anything. The only way that anything changes here is if your IP is somehow blacklisted via an RBL, but then using another SMTP host still doesn’t change anything as the originating IP is the headers anyway.
