    "Escape the COLD with a new vacation!"
    "Congratulations! You've won the chance to take a FREE University Degree!"
    "Are you looking for an Insurance Policy to suit you?"

    Anyone else getting this mindless, automated spam that seems to have slipped past the Hotmail Junkmail Filters?

    - LOL! At the time of writing this post, guess what just popped up as a YGM! HARD TO OBTAIN PHARMACEUTICAL MUSCLE ENHANCERS! Gr8...

    Yeah, that Spam at Hotmail is getting really bad, even with the filters. Any ideas on how to filter it even more?

    Well, you just have to block each address individually now...

    But it seems to come from a different address each time, which is so annoying!:(

    I use Yahoo which sends all your junk to a bulk folder which self empties.

    Very little else gets through except from this strange spammer called "bit-tech forum":p :p :p :p :p

    Yep the basic level of filtering seems to have become less effective :(

    Excite mail has been worse recently... I get soo much junk. I've purposefully gone over quota so that all the junk mailers get bounced emails for a while in a hope it'll make them take me off their lists :) Might work... you never know?

    GRRRRRR!!!!!!

    "Nick, You Could See Britney Spears, FREE!!!"
    Just guess her midriff

    This is annoying, however i have blocked all Forwards. Like 'if you dont pass this to 10 people in 5 mins your head will explode and your next door neighbours cat will eat your 'nads.'

    Don't they annoy you?
