Hi all,
I've noticed recently that Hotmail's spam filtering has been letting a lot of crap into my inbox recently. Has anyone else noticed this??

Cheers,

Tim

Yes, they definitely have changed something.

On the bright side, I learnt some really good pickup lines from reading the subjects

My Hotmail a/c has ALWAYS let this sort of stuff through, the Yahoo filter seems much better IMO

I have a Gmail a/c now, that seems a little better but I haven't really given the address out so am not sure.

Does anyone use an email redirector? I used to use [url]http://www.bigfoot.com/ef/en/index.jsp[/url] but seem to get a lot of spam from that, though that may well be my fault. Also I don't change my email addresses nearly as much these days so it's less of an issue
