<p>IF YOU ARE A HOTMAIL CUSTOMER:
<p>
<p>While you are awaiting response from a Support Representative, here is some additional information about how to protect your account. We realize that this e-mail message is lengthy, but please read the entire message below because the answer to your question may be included.
<p>
<p>Within this message is information on:
<p>
<p>  I. Limiting Junk E-mail ("spam")
<p> II. Turning on the Junk Mail Filter
<p>III. Reporting Unwanted, Abusive, or Fraudulent E-mail
<p>
<p>We strictly enforce the MSN Website Terms of Use and Notices(TOU), which forbids e-mail abuse. We ask for your support to help Hotmail prevent unwanted, abusive, or fraudulent e-mail.
<p>
<p>
<p>*************************
<p>I. Limiting Junk E-mail ("spam")
<p>
<p>Hotmail employs the following methods to protect you from spam:
<p>
<p>  - We limit the number of individual recipients for each e-mail message.
<p>  - We don't allow numeric characters at the beginning of an e-mail address. Any Hotmail sign-in name beginning with a numeric character is a forgery.
<p>  - We include "X-[Originating-IP]: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]" in the header of each e-mail message that Hotmail delivers. Any e-mail message without this entry in its full header didn't come from Hotmail.
<p>  - We block our relay hosts from those who send spam.
<p>  - We take legal action against senders of unsolicited bulk e-mail who forge Hotmail addresses.
<p>
<p>List brokers and individuals who send spam use many tools and techniques to gather e-mail addresses wherever they appear online. Here are some suggestions to help you reduce the amount of spam that you receive.
<p>
<p>Do:
<p>  - Remove yourself from any unprotected member directory.
<p>  - Open another e-mail account that you can use as an address for newsgroup and listserve publications or for posting on bulletin boards.
<p>  - Use the "Block Sender" option in Hotmail to block the delivery of e-mail from a specific sender.
<p>  - Use the Junk Mail Filter feature of Hotmail to filter spam into your Junk Mail folder.
<p>
<p>Don't:
<p>  - Use your primary account to post to an online service or any Internet bulletin board.
<p>  - Use your primary account to post in a Usenet newsgroup or mailing list.
<p>  - Spend time in chat rooms or an online service that displays your address of your primary account.
<p>  - Include yourself in an unprotected member directory of an online service (the Hotmail Member Directory is protected because we do not display member addresses).
<p>  - Reply to unsolicited e-mail messages with a "remove" request because this only validates to the sender that your address is current.
<p>
<p>
<p>*************************
<p>II. Turning on the Junk Mail Filter
<p>
<p>The Junk Mail folder protects you from unsolicited e-mail messages (also known as "spam"). Hotmail examines all incoming mail that you have not blocked or filtered. If it determines that the message is junk mail, Hotmail directs the message to the Junk Mail folder. You can specify how long messages remain in this folder before they are automatically deleted.
<p>
<p>>>> To set the Junk Mail Filter
<p>
<p>1.  Click "Options" to the right of the "Contacts" tab. The "Options" page appears.
<p>2.  Under "Mail Handling", click the "Junk Mail Filter" link. The "Junk Mail Filter" page appears.
<p>3.  Select "Low", "High" or "Exclusive" to enable the filter. See below for descriptions of what happens with each filter level.
<p>4.  Click "OK" to save your settings or "Cancel" to return to the "Options" page.
<p>
<p>What is filtered at each level setting:
<p>  - Off. When you have your Junk Mail Filter set to "Off", Hotmail accepts all mail and sends nothing sent to the Junk Mail folder. Note that turning off the Junk Mail Filter does not turn off your "Block Sender" list.
<p>  - Low vs. High. The Junk Mail Filter looks at a number of different clues in e-mail and tries to determine whether the message you received is junk mail. Setting the filter to "High" results in a stricter interpretation of what mail is valid than setting it to "Low". A "High" filter can result in more valid mail being filtered to the Junk Mail folder than you want, and you may need to check the folder from time to time to ensure that nothing you want has been defined as "junk". If you find valid mail in your Junk Mail folder, select the message and click the "This is not Junk" button.
<p>  - Exclusive: An "Exclusive" filter means that messages reach your Inbox only if they are from an address in your Contacts. This is the best protection against junk mail. By setting your Junk Mail Filter to "Exclusive", you accept only e-mail from your friends. This is e-mail equivalent of "don?t talk to strangers". 
<p>
<p>Hotmail helps you to maintain your Contacts by offering to add e-mail addresses to your Contacts when you send out e-mail.
<p>
<p>Note: If you want to accept mail from an address but don?t want that address in your Contacts, you can add an address to your "Safe List" (You may want to use this for newsletters, for example).
<p>
<p>IMPORTANT: Remember to check your Junk Mail folder at regular intervals to ensure that the filter catches only the messages that you want to delete. For example, mailing list mail and mail forwarded from another e-mail address may be filtered to the Junk Mail folder. To ensure that these e-mail messages go to your Inbox, create Hotmail filters or add the sender's address to the Safe List.
<p>
<p>>>> To add an address to your Safe List
<p>
<p>1.  Click "Options" to the right of the "Contacts" tab. The "Options" page appears.
<p>2.  Under "Mail Handling", click the "Safe List" link. The "Safe List" page appears.
<p>3.  In the box at the left of the page, type the address.
<p>4.  Click the "Add >>" button to add the address.
<p>5.  Click "OK" to save your settings or "Cancel" to return to the "Options" page.
<p>
<p>>>> To change the status of a junk mail message
<p>
<p>If you receive a message in the Junk Mail folder that you do not consider junk mail, do one of the following:
<p>   - In the Junk Mail folder, select the check boxes next to the messages that you do not consider junk mail and click the "This is not Junk" button. The selected messages are moved to your Inbox, and messages from these senders are not sent to the Junk Mail folder in the future.
<p>  - In the Junk Mail folder, select the check boxes next to messages and select a folder from the "Move to" drop-down list above the message list. This method moves the selected messages to that folder, but does not guarantee that messages from that sender are not sent to the Junk Mail folder in the future.  Follow the direction above to ensure future mails from that sender arrive in your Inbox.
<p>
<p>Note: Mailing list mail and mail forwarded from another e-mail address may be filtered to the Junk Mail folder. To ensure that these e-mail messages go to your Inbox, create Hotmail filters or add the senders of these messages to your Safe List.  
<p>
<p>
<p>*************************
<p>III. Reporting Unwanted, Abusive, or Fraudulent E-mail
<p>
<p>>>> To report spam by forwarding it with full headers
<p>
<p>If spam is sent from a Hotmail account:
<p>
<p>Using Hotmail:
<p>1.  Click "Options" to the right of the "Contacts" tab. The "Options" page appears.
<p>2.  Under "Additional Options", click the "Mail Display Settings" link. The "Mail Display Settings" page appears.

<p>3.  Open the e-mail in question and forward a complete copy of the message, including the full message header you copied at the beginning of your message, to:

<p>
<p>If spam is sent from an account other than Hotmail:
<p>
<p>If the unsolicited junk e-mail or "spam" comes from a non-Hotmail account, or does not reference a Hotmail account, you can send a complaint to the service provider that sent the mail. 
<p>
<p>In the full header, look at the last "Received" notation to locate the sending service provider. It looks something like:
<p>    [service name].com
<p>
<p>Forward the offending pieces of e-mail to abuse at the service provider you have identified:
<p>    abuse@[servicename].com
<p>
<p>If the service does not maintain an abuse alias, forward your spam complaint to:
<p>    webmaster@[servicename].com
<p>
<p> 
<p>
<p>To log a complaint, add a polite message such as "Here's a copy of the spam I received." 
<p>
<p>To report abuse from a source other than e-mail, include the following information:
<p>  - The media involved (such as chat, ICQ, or Usenet).
<p>  - The Hotmail account involved.
<p>  - The content of the offensive or unsolicited message.
<p>  - Any user information that you have.
