    It can't.
    It's not spam filters as others have suggested (at least, not to my 
knowledge).  If it were, the failures would be more consistent.
    It's Hotmail.  It is flaky and unreliable.  This problem has existed 
for years.  It's mail servers just occasionally crap out, possibly by 
overloading.  There's nothing you can do but suggest that Hotmail users 
change to Yahoo or some other web-based e-mail service.
    Hotmail is owned by Microsoft.  Need I say more?
