Thank you for contacting Hotmail, the original & world's largest free
web-based email provider, with over 10.5 million active accounts.
We DON'T maintain or manage any mailing lists. We provide free email
accounts from which our users send & receive email. To ensure user
privacy, we don't monitor the content of messages as they come and go.
That being said, our TOS forbids email abuse including spam, & we
enforce our TOS with zero-tolerance zeal.
The account you reported HAS BEEN CLOSED. These are forged header
addresses in spam NOT sent by or through Hotmail. We employ tough spam
counter-measures:
1) We severely LIMIT the number of individual recipients allowed per
each email, making Hotmail ineffective for spam.
2) Any Hotmail username beginning with a NUMERIC character is a forgery.
3) We include "X-Originating-IP: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]" in the header
section of each email we deliver; if email doesn't contain this line in
the full header, it DIDN'T come from Hotmail.
4) We maintain a FULL login IP history on each Hotmail account.
5) We BLOCK our relay hosts from improper use.
6) We're pursuing LEGAL action against those who forge a Hotmail address
into their spam, which is sent from outside our service.
You may find some of the links below useful in your spam-fighting
efforts. Please contact me if I can be of further help.
