I can't even believe it: I signed up for a new hotmail account yesterday and today Messenger tells me I have 9 new messages.

They have their ways.
Just keep your address to yourself if you don't want spam. Or get decent spam filters. |

| I didn't give my address out at all. I got this last night and went to bed. I e-mailed a resume to a company, but that is all. |

I'm not quite sure.
But I rememeber reading that there was a somesort of online list of hotmail/msn accounts or something.
Not 100% sure of it. Cause Hotmail gone through several chances after Microsoft bought it. |

I suggest you look into that one about getting your knob polished.
I've used mine for 18 months, I get about one spam mail a week :cool: |

| Whenever you get a piece of spam mail, just add the mail sender to your block list and block their domain. This stops 98% or so of my spam. |

| I've had a Hotmail account for over 3 years and have yet to get any spam. I always had bad luck with Yahoo accounts before though, went through a couple of those. |

I can't even imagine why this would work, since the return addresses are always fake and even the headers are usually spoofed.
Having said that, Hotmail = spam. Some lucky people who created their accounts between 1-3 years ago (not before, not after) don't get much spam, but otherwise, just having the account on Hotmail means you'll get spam. Why do you think Microsoft would offer a free service like that if they weren't profiting somehow? They sell addresses. |

Yeah. I heard that they can get around 25 cents per name. That's good money if you have a million people signed up. |
