MSN accounts and DNS

My James mail server seems to have a lot of trouble sending mail to MSN
accounts.  Anyone else have this much trouble?  I'm wondering, if there are
special DNS servers for email that I need to use?   I'm currently have been
using my IP's DNS servers that my computer has also connected to.

Have you check that your installation is not an open relay (using
services like ordb.org) - Hotmail could be filtering you e-mails away if
they think your server is a spam server.

Just a thought

If you mean sending an e-mail to for instance greg@hotmail.com through
James, I can tell you that it works absolutely fine with my installation
of James (Configuration? roughly equivalent to the default
configuration).

Actually it only fails with email addresses that end in "msn.com" .  Hotmail
works fine here too.
