Is anyone having problems sending e-mails to MS' e-mail addresses like @msn.com, @hotmail.com, @outlook.com, etc. from EarthLink addresses since yesterday? Here's an example of the e-mails being returned:

"...@hotmail.com
SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<...@earthlink.net> SIZE=1812:
host mx1.hotmail.com [104.44.194.232]: 550 SC-002 (SNT004-MC6F18) Unfortunately, messages from 209.86.89.68 weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors..."

Indeed. It appears that 209.86.89.68 is a valid SMTP server, so your
configuration is good. Sure does look like hotmail is blocking Earthlink
now. It wouldn't be the first time!

Yes, I had one to a hotmail address kicked back with same message
yesterday. Haven't retried it yet.

SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<snip> SIZE=4081:
host mx2.hotmail.com [65.55.92.184]: 550 SC-002 (SNT004-MC4F21)
Unfortunately, messages from 209.86.89.67 weren't sent. Please contact
