Hotmail uses Sendmail?

They seem to use at least two different incoming servers; one's a hacked
zmailer (241 SMTP server comments and bug reports to: zmhacks@cs.toronto.edu),
the other identifies itself as HotMail (NO UCE) ESMPT server and doesn't
support 'help'; it may also be a hacked zmailer. I believe they use qmail for
outgoing mail.
