RAM disks, the second choice, are cheaper.

/etc/postfix/main.cf:
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
/etc/postfix/transport:
hotmail.com deadbeats:
/etc/postfix/master.cf:
deadbeats unix - - n - - smtp
-o smtp_connect_timeout=10s
Add other -o options as needed, but this should help you skip over
deadbeats quickly.
