Hotmail is a Web-based mail, i.e HTTP based... I don't think you can configure any client to send mails from your HOTMAIL a/c...

Thats correct Gmail allows SMTP but i doubt if you can Mass Mail. GMAIL must be having some kinds of rules so that their servers are not used for SPAMMING. But thats my guess, personally havent tried Mass Mailing using Google

We should rather consider is a massive BCC forward.. I don't think it illegal. In case you face problems with Gmail, try Yahoo. They too give you free SMTP access.

Rediffmail, doesn't provide free POP3 or SMTP access.
