A host may junk any email based on a number of factors including content,
keywords, sender, originating IP, etc. Try sending yourself a more wordy
email avoiding anything that may sound spamish. Also, Hotmail has various
filter levels that could impact on your received email. One of those levels
is exclusive which allows only mail from senders in your addressbook to make
it into INBOX. Your hosting service could be flagged as a potential spam
source, too.

somehow a .NET issue. But I doubt that.
