Ensure to enable "Authentication" for both incoming and outgoing servers.
the SMTP server isn't based on the type of mail provider, it's based on the ISP gateway and what port is used you should be able to find out quite easily by typing 'SMPT servers' into google. assuming u have that information correct hotmail shud be irrelevant to delivery.
