Re: Hotmail bouncing

[newslett]

Not only that but it is a prime site for email address mining.  Just get a hotmail address and watch the spam roll in.  Plus, I notice that MY email address gets targeted by spammers when someone with a hotmail address sends mail to me.  Just say no to Hotmail, in fact just avoid anything Microshaft at all costs...

hotmail sucks - `nuff said.

I've seen mail sitting in the queue for days before it actually gets
received.

On a semi-related note - why do users seem to think that the .html on
the end of a url means "hotmail" ?  Is this just good luck by MS?  or is
it written somewhere?

All the hotmail addresses on the linux list right now do not appear to
be getting thru.

I wonder has anybody heard anything about whether this is a problem anywhere else?
