clueless

I read the first page of your article and didnt bother with the second becasue it is so obvious you have NO clue how spam filters work. And you have no idea the lengths spammers go to to find ways to defeat the detection systems.

It is very easy for a human to spot a spam message as they know its something they dont recognise.

Its a very dark road you go down when you start word or partial word blocking.

You suggest blocking 'loto' .So a domain that i own that is blotord.com gets blocked? Keep going on that thought and it never ever stops. You havent really though this out have you?

When someone complains about levels of spam, its actually only relevant to how much was stopped. You might get 10 per day, but what if Hotmail were stopping another 200?? So only 5% is getting to you and you complain? Yeah, better Hotmail didnt bother and let you deal with the other 200 too.

I am not , however, defending Hotmail here, they suck, but if you are going to write an article, please do a bit of rational thinking on general issues first.

Otherwise it tends to invalidate your entire opinion, even if you are correct on some points.
