Just did and it worked fine. Then again telnetting to mx1.hotmail.com on port 25 works too. I guess there is a DNS issues where the ...@hotmail.com address isn't resolving to the actual SMTP servers (MX records ?), but not being too hot on DNS I get lost just about there

Looking more and more like an internal issue, although I am using the standard NTL DNS servers (194.168.4.100 & 194.168.8.100)
