    hello

What's wrong into this header? Mail sent to others provider (ex. gmail) are correctly setted.

If you recently updated your SPF records you may simply need to be a little patient, since they are essentially DNS records delays may simply be the result of caching... — HBruijn, Mar 04 '16 at 15:35
It seems you are sending email using some php script. So check the script settings. It is setting some headers wrong. You can also check by sending mails using a regular client, like outlook, thunderbird etc. — Diamond, Mar 04 '16 at 15:38
I set SPF record 2 days ago, before it was not setted. smtp.mailfrom is correct? It seems wrong, I suppose is **info@example.com** and not **example.com@mailserver.com** — Alessandro Romeo, Mar 04 '16 at 15:49

Hotmail is know to have its own spam check metric.

No one can answer you, as even hotmail support does not answer such request to get unlisted as spam or to know the metric.

Some think its a background check on the domain (like aging), but its speculation.

For your info, even some official microsoft email I have got received in my spam box in my hotmail account. (like the monthly patch resume, which is from a @microsoft.com account)
