Problems sending e-mail to @aol addresses with hotmail

Has anyone else encountered this problem? For some reason I can't e-mail any @aol.com address from my hotmail account without it bouncing back. Is there a way around this? I can't think what filters I could have set that would restrict outgoing mail, is it just that aol have ridiculously tight spam filters?

    The bounce from AOL should explain why it was rejected.

    Ebay is a nightmare when your buyer uses aol as email just never arrives. I use Virgin and half the time my mails to aol don't arrive and I don't even get a bounce message.

    Unfortunately not, otherwise I wouldn't be posting here, it's just a generic undelivered mail message

    Yes it's eBayers using aol mail that I've been having the problem with, what I tend to do is just e-mail through the eBay mail system and then it tends to get through, bit inconvenient though!
