I don't know what we have here at work, but our network admin doesn't keep
it running, so every morning I have 10 or so spams. No big deal, AFAIC, but
it does tie up bandwidth, and annoy the hell out of end users. (I've been
on his case to either get a *real* spam filtering system or at least leave
this one turned on - to no avail so far). Anyways, do you know how much
spam I get at my hotmail account? None. I use *no* filters of any sort, but
hotmail must have one hell of a filtering system. I only get a few messages
a day to my hotmail account, despite having it for over 6 years. I used to
get quite a bit, but in the last 6 months or so, spam has stopped. I
haven't gotten a spam in a few months. I did spend about a month sending
abuse reports to every ISP that a spam originated from, so maybe that has
something to do with it. But, right now, I'm considering making my hotmail
account my "real" email account again, not one I use for mailing lists and
newsgroup contact. No spam is great!
