Having recieved 300+ junk mails in the last few days i have come to the conclusion that the spam, doesn't come from sad little gits with nothing better to do than email every address under the sun about farm animals being raped, or dirty lesbians and the likes. I have concluded that 90% of this crap comes from.............microsoft itself. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense, the second you have loads of junkmail, you are hit with a message from hotmail telling you that your account is full and that "you should upgrade to a paying 10mb account" as messages are being returned to the senders and you don't have enough room in your account. I have decided that it is a cunning plan from Microsoft to try and get your £20 a year which most people can't be bothered to pay.

ive got a few accounts. 1 gets about 80 a day. One gets about 3 a day, and one gets about 20 a day. Its a bit random. also the more obscure you name the less likely you are to get them.

Why does everyone say they get junk mail on Hotmail? I've had Hotmail for many years and I haven't had junk mail. I don't even have my junk mail filter on.
