No, I've had hotmail.com in my bouncelist for a couple of years,
although to be fair, most of the UCE doesn't actually come from hotmail,
but the envelope From is usually forged to purport to be from there. Not
that it helps any as far as the receipt of UCE is concerned.

But as far as mail to the list goes, surely whether or not anyone posts
from a hotmail account is immaterial, since the copy of their message
that we all receive actually comes from <owner-suse-linux-e@xxxxxxxx>.

The only problem would be if they tried to email me direct, but the
bounce message should give them a clue as to what was going on:

"550 Your domain is banned by local policy"
