I can't send emails to hotmail accounts using my .Mac email address and Apple Mail.

I can send from my .Mac email address using webmail.mac.com, but not from Apple Mail on my iMac.

A friend also has the same problem.

Anyway to fix this?

Maybe the emails are being caught by hotmail's spam filter?

are they just stuck in the outbox or are they leaving your machine?

Why am I not surprised...?

Hotmail also blocks iCards sent from mac.com as well as AAC files. Apparently both contain 'viruses', whatever those are.
