SMTP does not work

Here is an email I sent to try to cancel a business account of mine that I sent from outlook.live.com

Account closure Sidney@cpos.comLise;@hotmal.com Hi Todd,I want to close my account please. The services are no longer required.Regards,Sidney

and I got this bounce: Undeliverable: Account closure To send this message again, click here. postmaster@outlook.comYou Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

@hotmal.com (@hotmal.com)Your message wasn't delivered. Despite repeated attempts to deliver your message, the recipient's email system refused to accept a connection from your email system.

Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) and ask them to tell their email admin that it appears that their email system is refusing connections from your email server. Give them the error details shown below. It's likely that the recipient's email admin is the only one who can fix this problem.

For Email Admins
No connection could be made because the target computer actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the remote host - that is, one with no server application running.

This may not add any value to the discussion but I can't help noticing this:

Server at hotmal.com (20.53.203.50) returned...

Did you copy/paste the bounce mail? Did someone at Microsoft misspelled hotmail?

ctrl-a (select all), ctrl-c and ctrl-v here. This is from the servers them selves and it is in all the 20+ bounced emails I received.

I've been looking in the forums, and I'm not alone with this issue, unfortunatly, most reporters of the issue don't followup so the case dies

Try sending me and email with "Account closure" as a subject and "I'd like to close my account please" in the body at my hotmail.com account sid1202

Despite repeated attempts to deliver your message, the recipient's email system refused to accept a connection from your email system.

This means the mail server you are sending to is blocking outlook.com email, so its not just the subject or content of the sage mail that is a problem.
