[LINK] did I miss decommissioning of Hotmail

[Marghanita da Cruz]

Roger,

I would guess lots of error messages coming your way -error messages 
only began after 24 aug 2025.

I am now thinking that my mailing lists would also have a few hotmail 
addresses. Started at the dawn of Internet. But my last mailout 
generated unrelated error messages

I have alerted family, after error message for first timtoday, who 
probably need to talk to their children to fix.

It seems live.com addresses also affected.
