I recently switched from Plus net to BT. I have my own domain so
that when I move internet supplier I can keep the same email
addresses. This has worked fine in the past but now BT will not let
me communicate with Hotmail addresses. Why, and is there a way
around this problem?

Why are you using BT at all?
Use PlusNets smtp relay for outgoing.
= smtp.plus.net

Because I wish to. I never used Plusnet other than for internet. I
use, and have for years, Thunderbird, it is only BT as an internet
provider


My bad, you switched to BT FROM plus net.

Ah. And are you using BT's relay?


And why is the use of Thunderbird or any other particular email client
relevant?

Well sending direct from BTs web server using their webmail does not
invlove an SMTP relay...
