NEWS FLASH: Hotmail Takes The Offensive Against Spammers

Chris,

Thanks for contacting Hotmail, the original & world's largest free 
web-based email provider, with 12.6+ 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 have announced LEGAL action against spammers who forge Hotmail 
addresses into their spam, which NOT SENT BY OR THROUGH our service. 

In general, we've found it's a BAD idea to reply to "remove" addresses, 
as this usually only confirms your email address as active, and sends 
extra spam your way.

You may find some of the links below useful in your spam-fighting 
efforts. Please contact me if I can be of further help.

This is consistent with my ZERO TOLERANCE policy on spam.

I am required to fully investigate ALL spam that is received at this 
domain. The spam load is swamping our company and denying us our ability 
to conduct business.

Hotmail:
This never travelled on your network. Please terminate this drop box if 
it is valid.

BINGHAMTON.EDU:
Apparently ethics is not a required course at your institution. This 
student no longer deserves connectivity for abusing tax-payer provided 
services. Terminate this student and expell him. Nothing like a little 
postal fraud to help others commit online felonies.
