hotmail is hilarious
needed a hotmail account to use MSN, and I was slightly surprised about how long it took until I got my first spam mail into my inbox: 2 minutes after registering.

Re: hotmail is hilarious
on hotmail you mean? luckily I don't use the account anyway, for me it was just a hint that hotmail gives away user data.....but well, actually that's not really a surprise, isn't it?
on my own servers I also get almost no spam at all, thanks to greylisting...

And I don't use greylisting, it's just that I tend to create a lot of new addresses, use them for some crap and then remove them again so that the spam will bounce xD
I have one 'official' address, but I only use it for very serious biz, like suck-o :p

Re: hotmail is hilarious
well, I used my main address for a long time without any protection, in the end I got 100 spam mails a day and more...
with greylisting it went down to maybe 5 a week...and ok, I use some RBLs too. all that complicated and resource hungry spam filtering via spamassassin etc. is pointless when you can reach such good results with greylisting (which is very lightweight).
