Watch for mail from mymail.net as well as ni.net...

Actually, if you see REAL spam from hotmail, they are very responsive about
removing that user. Unfortunately, since it is so big (like aol.com), most
people just put a bogus reply email from AOL.com or hotmail.com. nothing
you can do about that. Watch the headers and block the people that support
spam. You will find a suprising trend in what servers it really comes
from...
On a similar note, if you allow your customers to send mail as if they are
from another account (like if I want to send mail, with a return address of
my hotmail account), then what stops anyone from saying they are from
hotmail? Who's ligit? If you find a way to block it, there will be a way
around your block. I don't think that even legislation can help at this
point.
