Please have a look in your log files. Do you find any error messages?

It is looking less like a firewall issue, though I am not saying you don't have a problem.

Next test: can we send out a one-line mail message using telnet?
See Re: SMTP outgoing mail

Try addressing it to yourself so you can see if it gets sent.

If that doesn't work you will need to get on the phone with your ISP.

Does the mail not get sent to anybody?

It is conceivable if you've been blacklisted for spam; also if the IP address you're sending from doesn't jive with the domain name you represent, the mail can be refused. Hotmail definitely does not like that; they do a reverse-lookup sanity check.

The SMTP dialogs you conduct should elucidate...
