    Email Spam etc

    My mate has Hotmail and he keeps getting approx 40+ spam / rubbish emails a day!! How is this happening? Where do people go to do this?

    We think it is one of his 'Mates' playing a prank on him!! How can he do the same back?

    Doesn't Hotmail have a spam filter any more? I don't use it and haven't in a long time, but they made a big thing about their anti-spam efforts a while ago.

    As for spamming back I really wouldn't. Seriously, setup a rule to drop the spam mails and leave it at that.

    Cheers, I think he is going to move to Googlemail now.

    Googlemail's spam filter is excellent - I use it. I get about 70 spam messages a day and usually one gets through every couple of days.

    Either he's put his email somewhere stupid, or it's a wind up. I've used hotmail for years on the same account, and get about 2 a week.
