Hotmail, because it receives the most abuse, checks more things about the mail and the mail server that is sending mail to it. Here is the link to the Hotmail postmaster page (all the major ISP's have similar sites) that gives information about how Hotmail treats email - http://postmaster.msn.com/
It is likely that your domain/sending mail server does not have an SPF DNS record. Check your domain at www.dnsreport.com and see if there are any problems and if there is a warning about your SPF record (near the bottom of the listing.)

All of the failures/warnings, except for these (WARN Nameservers on separate class C's, WARN Single Point of Failure, WARN SOA REFRESH value, WARN SOA EXPIRE value) affect how other servers contact and validate your server and can count toward ranking mail as junk/spam.
Edit: The missing reverse DNS record - FAIL Reverse DNS entries for MX records - is probably causing the most harm.
