That's really a server feature.

lol yeah did you not tick the tickbox in admin that allows hmail to send mail to hotmail?

The tickbox in admin that allows hmail to send mail to hotmail?
I can't find it. where it is exactly?
I am using apache2 on windows XP and using hmailserver version 4.4-B270
I can't make it works even after I follow all the recommendation in documentation.

My apologies jyoung you seemed to miss the humor in my last post.

Hotmail is notorious for not receiving email. Are you running hmail from your home connection? Are any errors in the error log shown?

Have you enabled SMTP logging, sent an email and checked what happened?

hahaha very funny
yes I run from home DSL connection.
Can't find any error in smtp logging

is this a limitation in free standard version?

hMailserver has no other than free version. So you have full functionality.

There are a lot of hotmail issues around (hotmail fault's usually), specially from a home DSL connection (it is even worse if you have dinamic IP). Please have a look at a message with something like "hotmail blues".

I personally have no problem at all with hotmail, running besides an static IP DSL, but there are many that have had.

Do you think I should put my computer name in DNS?
So hotmail will accept my email?
