My account was closed when a spammer used my address in forged "From" fields -- He retaliated after I taunted him.
Worse, I asked Hotmail at least to forward me some of the bounced messages so I could identify the origin and take legal or technical actions gainst the spammer. No answer from them.
I tried to talk with the technical support but the only answer I got was I violated the term of use by spamming.
Pretty silly IMHO.
Anyway, who needs Hotmail (2 MB space) when you have Yahoo (100 MB) or Google (1 GB)?
