No, that isn't the case. I am using a @live.com email address and am having the same issue. Actually, I'm trying to do a password recovery for an old account that I signed up for, but don't remember the password. When I enter the account email address, it says the password recovery email was sent, however, I promise you, I am not receiving these emails, nor is my spambox.
