Microsoft Hotmail refuses to accept spam reports except from a "MSN/Hotmail hosted account".
My SMTP server received a lottery phish from IP address 65.54.249.27, which translates to omc2-s17.bay6.hotmail.com. It had the X-Originating-IP and X-Originating-Email headers that Hotmail says are necessary: X-Originating-IP: [196.2.124.250] X-Originating-Email: [onlinewinne...@msn.com]
report_s...@hotmail.com rejects the spam report. I tried placing the the spam message with full headers in the body of the message. I also tried it as a MIME attachment. In both cases, I got a:

I have reported abuse@hotmail actions in "[lame-abuse]" threads. ab...@hotmail.com refuses to take responsibility for dealing with spam send by *.hotmail.com servers.
First time it was autoreject just like you report by some bot. [ it lasted 5 weeks+ ] Second time it was human reject [most likely "single click" reply].

I gave up on Hotmail. First their autoresponder is broken (try mailing from user+det...@your.domain: it responds to det...@your.domain), recently they started to flood my mailserver with 419 scam. Now they are blocked by the firewall. Hmm, I should document that on my WWW pages in case some poor soul actually uses that "service" and tries to reach me.

I too have decided to ignore HoTMaiL now, and have done this to my Sendmail access file :
