Hotmail Blocking Suddenlink Email?

Update (9/6): Things seem to be working again this morning. Hotmail and Suddenlink are playing nice once more.

Has anyone else experienced problems sending email to a Hotmail account via Suddenlink's SMTP server?

My wife and I have had email rejected this evening by Hotmail (mine was a reply to an incoming message; hers was a new message), and the message accompanying the bouncebacks seems to indicate that the reason for the rejection is that the messages have been deemed to be spam. Now, setting aside the question of whether our email might indeed be inconsequential enough to qualify as spam, this action seems to indicate that Hotmail has placed Suddenlink on a blacklist.

Or is it just us?
