Hotmail Blocking Gmail Emails

I'm absolutely sick of this situation. Every time I send an email to anyone in my family (who all use Hotmail because of the MSN Messenger legacy) the emails dont come through. They don't even go into their spam folders. Hotmail/Windows Live Mail is simply blocking the emails full stop, any other account I send them to works fine.
I'm slowly moving them over to Gmail as it is a better service all round, the search works (unlike Hotmail), the spam filtering actually works (almost 100% fullproof), you get more space every day, and they don't block emails from competitors' services (that should be illegal anyway imho). Anyone else had this happen? Looks like this has come up before.
(I have a feeling this has something to do with me using the Gmail Pop/SMTP service, however this is perfectly normal email usage and as I said before I can send email to any other service without problem).
