To be fair, I would suspect most of the ones with hotmail.com return
addresses are forged bogus Hotmail addresses and is spewed from dial
up accounts. That is certainly my experience.

Could you not tweak it further to still accept hotmail with [SuSE
Linux] in the subject? On a related note, A girlfriend of mine who
used a usa.net account on the road wondered why her mail to me was
bouncing. I found out the sysadmin my then ISP was totally filtering
out that domain without even bothering to tell the customers. I
cancelled service after getting into a debate about it with them.
These free web accounts get such a bad rap by being convenient targets
by spammers using them to forge a return address that doesn't in fact
exist, I hate to see legitimate mail get bounced merely by association.

Sorry to take up the bandwidth, just thought I could offer a
perspective. I get loads of spam too.
Cheers
