Make sure that bravenet.com is added to your safe list in Hotmail.
Make sure that your Hotmail spam filters are at at their minimum settings and nothing is being automatically deleted.
Then there will be a 50% chance that Hotmail may just choose to deliver the Bravenet confirmation.

You could try opening a free webmail account at uk2.net, they let a bit if spam through but don't dump legit stuff the way Hotmail does.
