This is the most f**king ridiculous spam ever.

If you have a hotmail account that shoots above 2 megs any new emails are returned to sender.

I wake up today and i have about 250 emails from jhje332@tacomail.com with subject "LEGAL O R D I N A T I O N HPHZAXP " - all 7k in size.

wtf am i supposed to do? I've used this email for years and everyone has it. I could pay $20 to get up to 10 megs but that's just a patch on the problem. Is hotmail really so incredibly stupid it couldn't tell that 250 email from the same person was perhaps spam?
 


<< you can block senders... >>



You can only block (if I remember correctly) 250 email addresses. I reached that point long ago. I still get about 15 spams a day, and my hotmail is always full when I check it (I don't check it every day, I usually have about 200 spams waiting for me + the 250 spams I have in my spam-folder).

EDIT: I might get even more spam that I thought. I checked my hotmail about 1.5 hours ago and deleted all spam. Now I checked it again... Only to see 4 new spams waiting for me...
 
You can set the junk mail filter to "exclusive" meaning only addressses specified in your addressbook will go to your inbox and everything else will go to junk mail. You can then set the junk mail folder to empty immediately versus once a week. This would theoretically get rid of spam, but depending on how you use the account may also get rid of a lot of legitimate mail as well (from people not yet in your address book).

Exactly why I can't have it on that setting.
