My 2¢: I have two fairly recent Hotmail accounts (one for personal, one for
a business project) which I set up with Entourage (never felt the desire
when I had OE). Neither of them have been listed in Hotmail Directory, the
personal one has received practically nothing but spam, the other not a
sniff. The much-spammed one has a simple address:
<FirstnameSurname>@hotmail.com, the unspammed account is more esoteric. Do
you think it's getting so much traffic because the name is actually quite
"guessable"?
