Microsoft is attempting to stop spam by limiting the number of emails that can be sent using Hotmail, its free email service. Now, "free e-mail users won't be able to send to more than 100 e-mail addresses in a 24-hour period."

Of course, unless I'm mistaken, there's no limit to the number of Hotmail email accounts you can create, so this may not help a great deal.

They should really look at how MyRealBox is preventing spam. I've used them for my primary email account for about 2 years now and haven't seen more than a couple spamails slip through. (And never have I seen spam coming from an account there)
