The topic of spam from hotmail has come up here a couple of times. We all wish they didn't exist, however... They seem to have improved their handling of spam reports in recent weeks, providing responses like the following within hours (which is more than I can say of many regular ISPs). If anyone is getting pestered by hotmail spammners it might be worth noting that writing to abuse@hotmail.com does produce some result these days. If I'm mistaken, someone please correct me. -----Forwarded message from policy@hotmail.com----- To: Sue Blake <sue@welearn.com.au> Message-ID: <882565EB.0075A317.00@service2.jsnet.com> Date: Sun, 19 Apr 1998 14:24:56 -0700 Subject: Re: [rockettts@hotmail.com: farther son speeking] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII We have closed the account referenced in your mail.
