    Are you sure Hotmail does this? Can you point us to the page that actually
    implements this on the hotmail.com site?

    It maybe that Hotmail is using a wildcard certificate -or- it could be that
    Hotmail.com has multiple certificates (one for each address) -or- it could
    be that Hotmail uses a set of redirection logic and cookies to do what it
    does.

    Cheers
