Wazoo Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 No one here works for HotMail ...???? There is a Google Search box at the top of this page that might help ..... then again, probably not as I have the options pretty much locked down to SpamCop.net and spam issues .. try http://www.google.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hotmail seems to have fixed its long-standing problem with their X-Originating-IP: line not working properly (well, it's working in the last mail I just sent from my Hotmail account to my regular-provider account). The problem was supposedly "an artifact of some new load-balancing equipment" - Hotmail goes anonymous?, April 2007. MSN's FAQs again refer to that X-line as an identifier of a genuine Hotmail message - Contacting Hotmail, (internally) date-stamped December 7 2007. Pure conjecture but, like nailing jelly to a tree, maybe not all the load balancing issues are fixed, maybe they're now "just" losing (I wouldn't know) or mislabling (haven't seen any) goodmail in some quantity. It all traces back to the sheer volume of spam these days (95% of total messaging, some say, inevitably meaning salients far greater than that some times, some places). For all that, I find Hotmail a useful service for those occasional times when the office mail system goes off-air or to test that my (home) regular service isn't blocking quite everything sent from or to my account. And for signing up for stuff, (some) larting and the like. No information, just musing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
