Hi there,

I use Outlook to manage my two email accounts (orange.fr and hotmail.com). Since setting this up a couple of months ago, I have noticed two things:
1. An increase in spam not being caught by my junk mail filters and which all appear to come from my own address: (address removed - Admin)
2. Hotmail accounts refuse my emails for the following reason:

<[redacted]>: host mx2.hotmail.com[65.54.188.126] said: 550
SC-004 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. A block
has been placed against your IP address because we have received complaints
concerning mail coming from that IP address. If you are not an
email/network admin please contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider
for help. Email/network admins, we recommend enrolling in our Junk E-Mail
Reporting Program (JMRP), a free program intended to help senders remove
unwanted recipients from their e-mail list: http://postmaster.live.com (in
reply to MAIL FROM command)

I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Spybot in Safe Mode and they have come up clean, so I am not sure if there is a problem or if I am just unlucky. In any event, I would be grateful if someone could give me advice. I attach my Hijack This log to kick things off.

Many thanks guys,
Sarah
