Hotmail hosting spammers

What happens when you send a complaint to abuse@hotmail.com about a mailbox used for a pyramid scheme or 419 scam?

"If you are reporting Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail (also known as Spam or Junk E-Mail), please resubmit your report to report_spam@hotmail.com or report_spam@msn.com depending on the spammer’s domain. Appropriate actions will be taken."

"Abuse@hotmail.com and abuse@msn.com do NOT process spam reports."

You e-mail the abuse contact in Microsoft's ARIN records and get back a message saying that your complaint has been discarded. I don't accept Hotmail anymore.
