(http://news.com.com/2100-1032_3-1021166.html) discussing the difference
between Microsoft's actions and words on spam.

"BCentral.com sends a lot of mail that is not necessarily solicited, and
often they continue to send it even after you've told them to stop," Atkins
said. "The problem is that bCentral has a number of customers who send mail
through them, but Microsoft doesn't police them at all. They don't take
action against their customers."
"Not necessarily solicited" is a mealymouthed way of stating the
truth that Microsoft's Bcentral.com is an unregenerate spam haus.
I've plenty of my own evidence to prove that charge. You can see
some of other people's evidence in

"People will try to exploit free Web mail even to the extent of hiring
people to go through human interface test ..."
I've been wondering for a long time when someone might say that in public.
About "forgery," free mail providers (including Everyone.net), and
related subjects--I recently I'd grown sloppy in keeping track of
their domain names as envelope senders in the spam in my traps and
that I'd been lazy when I last counted them. Of the 34,740 spam in
my 39 day rolling log that were not relay probes, 15,025 or 43% had
sender domains from among the 784 domains listed in
