MSN Enlists McAfee in War Against Spam | |
|
||
| Time: 13:48 EST/18:48 GMT | News Source: Internet News | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Users of Microsoft's (Quote, Company Info) wildly popular e-mail service Hotmail have long had the frequent displeasure of punting various unwanted e-mails from their inboxes -- some 8 out of every 10 e-mails messages sent to Hotmail accounts are believed to be spam. Well, Hotmail users: help is on the way. Like the Orkin army does against insect pests for homeowners, Microsoft has enlisted the aid of security software specialist McAfee (Quote, Company Info) to help battle the deluge of spam flooding inboxes. The Sunnyvale, Calif. security service provider has provided its SpamKiller application to the 110 million Hotmail users who desire to eradicate unsolicited e-mail. | ||

amerigo5 - I'm curious. Why would Microsoft care if you use their site for free or yahoo?
Seems to me like it would cost Microsoft less money if you used Yahoo. Or do you think that Hotmail is a revenue generator for Microsoft? |

| Blocking images would also block emails from Microsoft, m00. That's rather funny to think about. |

| amerigo5, there are far better email providers than Yahoo. I can't think of any of the top of my head, because I have my own domains and don't use any, but before you pay Yahoo, you should shop around. Getting yourself a domain would be better than paying for an email addy anyway. Check out namezero.com and see what their current deals are for domain registration/email hosting. You'll get much more from them than you would from Hotmail or Yahoo. |
