Mailman problems with hotmail.

Why is my implementation of Mailman 2.1.11 not co-operating with @hotmail.com addresses?
I'm the manager of a discussion list using Mailman 2.1.11. For about a month now, traffic to and from @hotmail.com addressed has been blocked in almost all instances.
Users can still subscribe and unsubscribe by email, but no messages are getting through, with a few unpredictable exceptions.
The messages aren't dissappearing into the spam folder.
I'm in touch with the server techie - looking for problems there, and I'm in the process of making a relay using a gmail account to get message to people, but it's an ugly bodge.
The list has ~30 people on, so migrating everybody wouldn't be the end of the world if it's absolutely necessary.
My main question is - has anybody else had a similar problem, or have insight as to why this might be happening.

Insert a delay between messages or (this is inefficient and "wrong" but works, sadly) mix up the order, so that you're not delivering all the hotmail ones in a block.
