GetResponse never inboxes with hotmail addresses?

I've just gotten into email seed testing. The problem is that whatever I do, I can never get an email to inbox on a Hotmail account. It always gets marked as spam. I've been testing with 3 Gmail addresses, 3 Yahoo addresses, 3 AOL addresses, and 3 Hotmail addresses.

None of the 3 Hotmail accounts ever inbox a GetResponse email.

Any GetResponse users here experiencing something similar?

    Update: I just created a free MailChimp account to see if there's some sort of problem with my domain records. MailChimp inboxed to every provider I'm testing perfectly without any SPF records or proper authentication!

    I think this means that Hotmail blacklisted GetResponse's server.

    I contacted support and they said there "might" be a problem and they have been experiencing problems with Hotmail.

    I have been seeing the same thing.

    I have many accounts with many providers, so when I have problems, I just move data around.

    Right now I'm moving hotmail to icontact, which is delivering well.

    I find that gmail/yahoo makes up around 80% and aol/hotmail is about 10% and everything else falls in the remaining 10%.

    Do you know the breakdown of your data? Hotmail and family for me is only about 5%, so not the end of world, but 5% is 5%.

      Hotmail makes up around 12% of my list. My list is only currently 729 subscribers, but it's growing quite fast due to my recent Facebook ads campaign, so the percentage of Hotmail addresses might go down a bit.

      I like MailChimp because the delivery rate is really good, but I'm not so sure I like their interface. I'll take a look at iContact. I haven't heard much about them.

    If you face with getResponder then try on icontact. It's well for Hotmail i see.

    If it doesn't reach Hotmail inbox, then it likely lands as spam for msn.com, live.com and outlook.com as well.

      Yep. Anything Microsoft owns. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and stick with GetResponse. While they do have problems with delivery in Hotmail, GetResponse made me love email marketing again. I wasn't satisfied at all with aWeber and GetResponse has been a good experience besides the Hotmail delivery problem.

      I don't think so. GetResponse makes emails responsive by default.
