In a fantasy world, that could mean that Hotmail had shut it off for spamming.
Seriously, Hotmail might just coincidentally have been having problems. AFAIK
there is no way for a user to cancel a Hotmail account except by several

We can rule out forged From: lines pointing to a Hotmail address that never
existed, because that address had received the confirmation request and
perhaps some posts or digests.
