Indeed, sorry. Seems that Hotmail relays for certain clients - my own
site doesn't get any of those. I get much mail to my users (teachers,
pupils and directors at an Amsterdam high school) and simply can't block
hotmail servers.

Ripe gives 83.229.100.31 as belonging to

who is obviously sending you spam. harryklappas.net is a genuine domain
and is looked after by msn.com, says (BIND's) dig; complaining to
SkyVision Global Networks is obviously not going to get you anywhere -
though you could try, I suppose.

I'd use either one of two methods in such a case:

1: pcre header checks on Received: headers, which is very effective but
initially demands much work (which drops off after a while, unless
you've a large volume site). I'd reject:

/Received:\sfrom\s+83\.229\.(?:[0-1]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-1][0-2][0-7])\.\d{1,3}/
 and whatever more of the header you want; can most probably be done far more 
elegantly, but works in pcretest;

2: People on this list aren't going to love me any more for this, but
nevertheless "it works for me" and is *far* more effective: Teaching
each such spam to dspam (no, not SA ;) running in group mode (I use
dspam 3.5 as a daemon with a MySQL 4.0 backend) would be very effective
and need very little training.
