John,

This one is actually rather easy. Hotmail, and AOL, etc. perform reverse
domain lookups to determine if the email is spam. If it cannot recognize the
domain, then it does not deliver the email.

So, what you are sending thru DST are messages with a from address of:
    iSystemName.companyname.com
Since that is an invalid domain name, Hotmail rejects it

You can fix it by entering an alias for the user who is sending the email -
into the system alias table. Using WRKNAMSMTP TBLTYPE(*SYSTEM), create an
entry for the sending user - match the Directory Entry for that user - and
use a valid domain name.

That should do it,
Trevor
