And remember guys - "their poor server" is a huge affair, even months ago it
was bouncing *billions* of spam *per day*, handling all the *real* hotmail and
MSN traffic (which is almost certainly into the hundreds of millions per day),
and actually managing to keep up....

For all the grief I give Microsoft, I *do* have to admit that there's only
a few network-engineering feats of a similar size and scale....
