Earthlink’s email blocked by Hotmail?

It looks like I’m not the only one who’s been going to battle against Microsoft Hotmail’s anti-spam measures. Now Hotmail is rejecting emails from Earthlink accounts. We’ve seen our emails sent there being bounced for the past few days. Here’s the message:

[redacted]@hotmail.com
SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:<[redacted]@[redacted]>
SIZE=3777:
host mx4.hotmail.com [65.55.92.184]: 550 SC-001 (SNT0-MC4-F19)
Unfortunately, messages from 207.69.195.66 weren’t sent. Please contact your
Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list.
You can also refer your provider to

Like many ISPs, Earthlink has its own anti-spam measures. I’ve not found anything on Earthlink’s website that explains the current Hotmail block, however.
