I logged onto hotmail three days ago. There were 1554 spam messages. Fifteen hundred of them had the same subject. I deleted them. Seems hotmail could end this kind of abuse. When the mailbox is full, serious mail does not get delievered. IF I could get ahold of this spammer, I'd personally remove his eyeballs and stuff them up his turdpipe.

What about the ones from Abuda Fadafa, Bufah Kalawa, Adid Kswan that seen to originate from the same place but all have different pseudo-names? I see them EVERYDAY.

This is a simple fix. Abandon your Hotmail account and create a new one since they're free. Or create one at Yahoo.com.

I just closed my hotmail account because of excessive spam.Mailwasher(mentioned by norm)is the solution that looks promising.It's free.The problem with hotmail is that I had it set at "exclusive" and still got way too much spam.There is only so much you can do with the settings/filtering on that account.Yahoo by comparison is infinitely better at screening spam!Good Luck.JB

I, too, got rid of my hotmail account because of so much junk. I had one that was flooding my mail as fast as I could delete it. I use my ISP e-mail now with Mailwasher. Works great!!

If you'll set your Options in Hotmail to delete email unless
it's from someone in your address book you can eliminate the spam
Good luck

I DO thank you people. As my hotmail account is longstanding, my regular contacts expect me to "be there". I opened the account three or four years ago and have NEVER opened a spam mail or one that I did not know the sender. I at least adhered to THAT little rule. I am going to spend the afternoon looking at every option available on my Hotmail. I've been lazy and probably have asked you folks too many questions and expected too many answers. The 1500 spams from the same sender just kinda knocked me over the edge. The whys of that kind of chicanery are baffling to me, as piontless as sending virus mails. Compare it to bashing your mailbox with an electronic baseball bat. Thanks again for the help.

Look for the block sender option.
If they are not friends, I block them all.
Don't trust anyone, that you can't look
into there eyes.

I have sent entire LISTS to "block sender", I supppose they are using automated e-mail acct generators as suspected in the Abdu Fadafa, and Abdul Fadafa ad infinitum case. Just change one little thing, and block sender is useless. I may just open an another account and open them just to see just what that/those pseudo Arab(s) are/is trying to do.

If you must keep your account, then use the filtering for only the listed addresses and put your contacts email addys there. These spam programs do use random naming, and hotmail has a limit to the number of blocks you can have. I agree that my yahoo gets alot less junk than my hotmail, and sending my friends a little 'change of address' was really quite painless.
