Odd, my majordomo messages seem to get to me at hotmail just fine.
I will add however, that public (free) web based mailboxes are the
last ones I check each month.  Why mine get through and yours are
requiring you to "whitelist" them is probably a header setting or
something along those lines.  I personally LOVE the whitelist idea.
It is more work, but guaranteed no UCE.
