If you're drowning in Spam then try this neat little app, I started using it
just because it also does work with hotmail.

You would have to have this program running all the time on your computer
though, but luckily it's not a processor intensive task so you shouldn't see
any drag on your computer at all.

You're also right there is no way of knowing where the spammers got your
email address, it could have been from any of the MS security holes or
websites that run activeX scripts on your computer. All I was saying was
that it would be prudent if the AUTO settings of the list were set to
CONCEAL ON instead of OFF.  The page where you can see the roster of
currently listed addresses,  I see this as a useful page for moderators and
admins of the list, but not for the general public.
