rejected hotmail mails

Hi all,
Win98SE / OE6 / Outlook 9.0
My standard Outlook stationery includes a link (url) to my
humble web page.
If I send a mail to any friends with a hotmail address,
it gets rejected/non-delivered.
If I remove the link and resend, the mail is delivered OK.
This started a few months ago.
What are they (hotmail admin) trying to achieve with this
nonsense ? I assume I am not the only one affected ?
I have also had rejected mail from hotmail.com saying
my mail was judged by many internet users as being offensive -
since when has "Happy birthday and love to to Alice" been
offensive ? If I take the link out of this mail it goes thro' OK.
Mind boggling - for my hotmail.com contacts it seems I have to
revert to snail mail.
regards

 

Hi all. researched this one a little.
Surprised you hotmail users and those who mail hotmail users
do not have any strange things with your mails.
(ie no replies to my post)
As far as I can see, about 5 months ago, the hotmail
chiefs outsourced "developments" to try and reduce the massive
amounts of spam their servers worldwide were receiving.
Well, I suppose something went wrong. (It happens)
Anyway, I hope you all are now getting much less spam
and not missing all the genuine mails that you would otherwise
have received.
regards

 

I don't use hotmail and won't even keep a hotmail address in my book because of this sort of nonsense. If it's a good friend, I will send them one message (I have boilerplate for it) saying what the problems are and that they will need a real email account for me to send them stuff.
