So I assume I have set the records up correctly. However when I send Mails to Hotmail they always get thrown in the Junk Mail folder.
I know that Microsoft does not search for Sender-ID entries in the live DNS system but they have their own cache. So I filled out the form at Microsoft and a few hours later got a response:
We have successfully added your domain to the Sender ID program.
Now, a few days later, it is still not working. Is there something I am missing? Here is the header of an E-Mail dropped by Hotmail:

It would be a real relieve for me if it was no problem on my end. I will try to reach Microsoft and hear what they have to say and post their response here.

Ok it was an error on my end. After I issued to be a part of Microsofts Sender-ID Program I changed the SPF record a tiny bit and so I had to contact them again so they could cache the new SPF records.
On the positive side I now get a sender-id=pass.
On the down-side my mail is still junkmail according to Hotmail. And by the life of my I cannot figure out why. Sure my SMTP servers FQDN is not nice to look at (S15354505.xxx.at) and I think my HELO is an IP address instead of a hostname but only Hotmail gives me problems.
If anyone else sees a way for me to get into the inboxes of Hotmail users please tell me. Otherwise the question is answered. Thank you.
Have you tried sending again recently? Do you still see "sender-id=temperror" ?
