We have a domain which is having issues sending emails to @hotmail and @live addresses. If you add the domain to safe senders it goes through no problem at all. However, sending to a random @hotmail/live address will never reach the recipient and will also not send back an NDR. It has all the relevant PTR and SPF records so that shouldn't be an issue.
Is there a blacklist checker for these Microsoft accounts we can use without the palaver of having to go through either their forums or ridiculously large email support form?

It's strange that you don't receive any NDR. You should also check logs of your mail-server.
The process of removing yourself from blacklist is pretty well explained in here: http://www.rackaid.com/resources/hotmail-blacklist-removal/ (this post is quite old, but not much actually changed since that time...)
Be ready that you'll need to spend some amount of time working on removing your domain from blacklist, AFAIK it can only be done manually by some Microsoft team.
