In reply to Josh.

@Josh

Provided port numbers are correct.

Hotmail works on both 25 and 587 with explicit SSL (STARTTLS) and on port 465 with implicit SSL.
Port 587 is currently a default port for MSA without SSL or with explicit SSL.

try a different port number for smtp, the numbers listed here are not the ones used by microsoft. The default port number is 25, and the alternative -if the ISP is blocking 25- to use is 587.

As listed at Microsoft’s site with the following link:
