I have my main hotmail set to max filtering, i.e. only allow people I have in my address book or safe list.
I've noticed that recently some spam has been coming through pretending to be amazon.com or bn.com as they are on my safe list (and I'd imagine many other people's too).
Is this the beginning of a wave of intelligent spam? one step up from them pretending to be from yourself. How soon before one of those outlook virii is designed to divert the address book info to some spammer, so they can more than just guess what email addresses people are likely to let through?
