could not send mail to hotmail account from a sendmail server.

I have configure my mail server in sendmail and IMAP and POP server in Dovecot. It works fine with other mail servers like yahoo and gmail but i cannot sendmail to an hotmail acocunt. I get the following log in the maillog file :

Apr 24 22:19:55 mail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<pn>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:203.175.8.83, lip=::ffff:203.175.8.84
Apr 24 22:21:07 mail sendmail[10945]: m3OGJSVD010942: to=<soameone@hotmail.com>, ctladdr=<pn@exampledns.com> (502/502), delay=00:01:18, xdelay=00:01:14, mailer=esmtp, pri=120353, relay=mx2.hotmail.com. [65.54.244.168], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent ( <48106091.7000507@exampledns.com> Queued mail for delivery)

Looking at the log seems like the message has been accepted for delivery and queued for delivery but when i checked the hotmail account i dont see the mail either in the inbox or the junk. Moreover, i dont get any bounce message or any message saying that the message has been rejected.

If someone could help me i would be really grateful.

the only thing i could think of, is if your using a free DNS service like dyndns, or homeip.net or something like that, then hotmail will drop the mail automaticaly without ever sending it to your junkmail box. There are certain websites that automaticaly distrust any free DNS regestries, and will ban them from apearing on their site. After all, hotmail IS owned by microsoft.
