That is why I use Hotmail, to keep spammers from my other accounts. Hot
mail works fine for spam as only addresses in my address book are allowed.
I have been using Hotmail since it came out, paid version almost from the
beginning. Spam has never been a problem with this account, I don't see it,
Microsoft takes care of the problem, it never gets to me.
in fact I think spammers disregard Hotmail accounts.
