I would encourage any list members using hotmail not to do so on this list. Most of my spam comes from hotmail accounts
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.
and I'm finally adding the whole domain to my email filter. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a spam problem.
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 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
