Thanks Scott - just quoted your email - to those trying to correspond

PS I just googled and my duke was first non MS item to come up - I could
not be bothered reading any as did not pertain to mu address except I
got error messages when trying to send to others. This has only recently
started happening.

Admittedly I've never thought about how to do a clean-out of my now 30yo
address-book; but a quick look finds 736 hotmail addresses.
That compares with a mere 5 oz.au !?
I'm building a new community at the moment, and 5 / 230 (2.17%) of the
invitees have hotmail (and hotmail-only) addresses.
Traffic's apparent with 20 unique hotmail addresses since 1 Jan 25.

Roger,
I would guess lots of error messages coming your way -error messages
only began after 24 aug 2025.
I am now thinking that my mailing lists would also have a few hotmail
addresses. Started at the dawn of Internet. But my last mailout
generated unrelated error messages
I have alerted family, after error message for first timtoday, who
probably need to talk to their children to fix.
It seems live.com addresses also affected.

Hi folks,
Hotmail.com and live.com email addresses are still supported in the
Outlook.com service, no changes or loss of functionality for people using
those email domains.
If you?re getting errors they?re unrelated.
Cheers,
Johann
