I'm sorry Alexander Graham Bell, we can't possibly accept this new 
fangled telephone thing you've just invented because the above quote

I thought the issue with hotmail was that you just made the spam appear

offer" accounts and then it would just sail right through. Certainly 
this happens with mailblocks - it can't block mail apparently coming 
from yourself.
