Judging from my friends hotmail account it doesn't work.

I like this quote...

The initial Hotmail users, were impressed by the new technology. "This system really has cut down on the spam I've been receiving. Come to think of it I haven't gotten any e-mails recently," said Harold Gorman, MSCE.

Hmm, somehow, this qoute seemed funny...
Perhaps that is also a way of preventing spam

my hotmail account gets about 5-10 junkmails a day (with the filter on)..

Actually my hotmail is down to about 1 every other day.

Until recently I was getting that 'Diploma" email twice a say, until I started reporting it to the providers. Poor mr Spammer has to keep finding new open SMTP servers.

(And yes I know I would not be the only one doing it, but it feels damn good sending off that letter )

Well, then I think I should consider myself lucky: approx. < 5 junkmails a day, on 2 seperate mailboxes (both from our university), matching a total of 5 mail-addresses.
(oh, and an occasional message on icq)

Bizar thing is that a lot of this junkmail has to do with dating , as if I were subscribed to Japanese and Russian dating websites. Would somebody be trying to set me up ?

I get anywhere from 10 to 500 SPAM messages a day with Hotmail and filters turned on. Usually it's in the range of 10-20, but I've literally gotten 900 messages in 2 days from the exact same source, same subject, same message....each message sent within a minute of the previous......

My hotmail account only gets ~10 spam mails/week My trouble is that my other accounts gets spamed by hotmail, aol, yahoo etc. accounts!

[SteveC]

Every morning I fire off 5-10 emails to abuse@yahoo.com / abuse@hotmail.com and abuse@otherispsthatspamme.com . I often get back an email saying the email address has been spoofed, but I also often get them back saying they have dealt with the user and found them to be breaking the AUP <IMG SRC="http://194.131.85.139/steve/clap.gif">

No, they probably aren't getting hit from those sites. Probably just forged headers. Check the routing info and I bet you'll see the spammers found an open relay somewhere.

[Wombat]

Steve, if you really want to make a difference, then track down the open relays they are using, and notify those ISPs.
