Enable authentication for your SMTP server?? Most ISP/hosted mail servers require authentication now to limit use as a spam relay.
APK, it looks as though the @hotmail.com is the destination address, and the ISP/hosted mail server is actively refusing sending, since SMTP authentication isn't enabled.
Most ISP/hosted mail servers now require user authentication (almost always ticking the box "Use the same credentials as the POP3 server" or something similar setting).
