And, along the vein of denial of service, the following URL confirms my
suspicions about M$ actively engineering its web sites to block older

I too was intending to dump hotmail (that account) for a while & I've now
switched LEM mailing lists to a Mac.com account and have to say I'm
thrilled: it's soooooooooo much more responsive than a hotmail account (in
Outlook Express) and I no longer have to click "Send and Receive Messages"
three times to send an e-mail.

Mac.com RULES!!!
