Do you see the difference between what you quote above and what's in
the traceback?

What you need in mm_cfg.py is

MTA = 'Postfix'

The spaces around the = are optional but the quotes are mandatory and
MTA must not be indented at all.

Also, I know that it's really hotmail that's at fault, but it would
help us if code and tracebacks weren't run together without line
breaks. Try composuing in plain text. (sorry for the rant, this
hotmail issue is a sore point with me)
