    Angry New Hotmail Spam

    As more than one may know, there are new spam emails comming from hotmail servers.

    They come from a valid hotmail account, sent through hotmail webmail. They offer LCD TV and other kind of stuff.
    All emails ends with a signature like this:

    E-mail: xxx@xxx.com
    MSN: xxx@xxx.com

    So, here is the problem. This mails are sent in plain text, but the hotmail servers seem to have a phrase whitelist in their servers. Works like MSN, Goddady (always speaking in plain text) and others take the message like valid and not like junk mail.

    Anyone figured out how to block this emails in some way?

    Best regards

    Seems that they are using some SPF game to bypass internet servers rules.
