80% Of Incoming E-mail At Hotmail Is Spam

The Llama King writes: "According to this AP story at The Houston Chronicle, 80 percent of the e-mail that makes its way into Hotmail's user inboxes is spam. And that does not include the UCE caught by Hotmail's filters. This is the first of a three-part series the Associated Press is doing on spam."

Bill Gates - I have the answer!

Bill,

Scott and Larry said you would like to know about this.

Are you tired of churning Hotmail accounts due to spam? Have you ever found yourself wondering if others have inside tips that are holding your back?

Wonder no more. I have the answer. Move Hotmail to Debian Linux, type 'apt-get install spamassassin razor' and your problems will be solved.

I've written a grep patternfile that does a very good job as far as not causing false positives. It's not going to block 100% of spam, but I have not had it block a legitimate email yet, even corporate newsletters that may look like spam.

If the lameness filter will let me post it, here goes:

(I had to combine some of the shorter lines to get past the fucking lamenessfilter. Lines with a "-" in them should be broken into two lines)

Disregard the remainder of this message, it was necessary to get around the lameness filter.

Well, now I have to type a bunch of stuff to get past the lame-ass filter. Blah Blah Blah, the cat sat on the fat rat, this is a waste of my time. The ends do not justify the means. I wonder if this line is long enough to raise the average line length yet, maybe I should keep typing. Man, I know why they call it the lameness filter, it is damn lame. 20.3 chars per line now, better type some more to raise that average. Lets see, I've wasted, what, 10 minutes of my life now because of this stupid filter? I wonder how many people just give up by this point. Blah Blah Blah, test test test. Maybe I can paste this line twice.
