Fonze Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 i noticed this too. I also noticed this affected my pop3 mail aswell. so, is it hotmail or the new anti-spam law that was just passed?(atleast i think it was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AQUaDeX Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I suspect MSN used the same method AOL used to slam junk emails - banning all incoming mail from SMTP servers originate on a consumer ISP connection, AOL did that earlier this year and the effect was really impressive.

bayrider Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 yea i just noticed these last few days, hardly any junk mail at all (even in my "bulk mail" folder) though my isp adress is slammed constantly btw... did anyone notice maybe 2 weeks ago that a lot of spam were escaping hotmails "enhanced" spam filter?

fozzie22 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Yes it's a nice change to go into my hotmail account and not be greeted by 20 ways to improve my "growth" ;) , It's just a shame that my main ISP seems to have slacked off this problem :angry: ,so any benefit gained from hotmail i'm now seeing in my inbox from my ISP. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomasarson Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 hotmail has a nice spam filter. i've been a member with hotmail forever and the spam feature wasn't there. there are three settings: off, default and high (i think, but you get it) it was never turned on by default for me because i've had the account for a long time but i think it is for new accounts. how old are your accounts? and maybe they turned if on by default for all accounts when they did the hotmail upgrade.
