    I have 157 addresses on my stupid block sender list with Hotmail.
    And I;ve just started blocking a few months ago, I used to just delete them all.

    Get some free mail account with Lycos or perhaps Yahoo...haven't received much spam there. Hotmail is a joke.

    BTW you may also want to avoid posting your email address anywhere on the Internet(like inside a post on this board or other boards). Some spammers have programs that can look at webpages and extract email addresses that get posted.

    Yahoo email has pretty good filtering. Hotmail is pathetic.

    If you stick with hotmail, you will fill up your block senders list soon. Maybe it would help if you would stop visiting all those porno sites. J/K :D

    <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/news/713079.asp?cp1=1">I thought this article was interesting</a>. Talks about AT&T's problems with Spam bringing the whole email system down.

    There were a few other good ones at slashdot.org about how quickly spammers decend (8 hours, I think). They were last week, but I'm too lazy to look them up.
