Hotmail to get better anti-spam
Hotmail to get better anti-spam
Story Text:
Microsoft on Thursday announced two new services aimed at curbing the ever-increasing amounts of spam making its way into MSN Hotmail customers' inboxes. Called MSN Postmaster and Smart Network Data Services, together the services will both ensure legitimate bulk e-mail makes it to Hotmail customers, as well as add an extra line of defense against unwanted spam.
"MSN Postmaster and Smart Data Network Services represent a move by Microsoft toward broader, more-comprehensive and transparent information-sharing with ISPs and e-mail senders to help protect e-mail and ensure that it continues to be an essential and valuable communications tool," said Kevin Doerr, product unit manager for MSN Hotmail at Microsoft.

Different idea
Seems to me they could go much further toward curbing spam by just killing off Hotmail altogether, y'know? :-)

"legitimate bulk e-mail"... ROTFLMAO
Yeah, legitimate. Like say, newsletters, or other notifications that might go out to a 'bulk' of recipients.
