Hotmail issue?

Options
Im not sure if this is a hotmail issue or something else but if someone can advise I would be grateful.

I need to email a police email address. Whenever I type the address (or any other police email address) into the 'To' box it comes up red - I tried to send it anyway and it came back as delivery failure immediately. Can I not email this kind of address from hotmail?
the address was @gwent.ppn.police.uk

    I assume there's a name before the '@' in the address you have?

    yeah, didn't think it would be wise to post the whole address on here....

    I tried that although it wasnt admin. No matter what I type before the @ - hotmail says there is a typo in the address and it automatically comes back as a delivery failure...I assume because it thinks its wrong (unless it is really getting through and hotmail is lying)
