| 880691 | 2010-04-28 07:31:00 | Hi All. We are getting spam from Live Mail & Hotmail. All of a sudden as of a few days ago. Is it bothering anyone else? ISP is Orcon. PJ |

| 880692 | 2010-04-28 07:37:00 | Are you logging into Hotmail? If you are, those belong to Microsoft, not Orcon | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 880693 | 2010-04-28 07:56:00 | Speedy... The laptop uses Live Mail This comp uses OE7 (!). When I go into OE & click to recieve E-Ms I get any from Orcon & those from Gmail as well.As far as I know I am not signed in to Hotmail nor Livemail. The address on the spam is all MSN Livemail & Hotmail with an unknown sender name. Only once so far have we had a spam E-m with our proper E-m address xxxxxxxx@orcon.net.nz. |

| 880694 | 2010-04-28 08:43:00 | It's hard to know what's going on without more info . Sometimes the information they've stolen about people's accounts through phishing to send spam, or they spoof the address . Sometimes the spammers find a way to break the Captcah for a while . If you have spam email that appears to be coming from Hotmail or Live please report it as described here ( . com/solution . aspx?solutionid=e1e87293-909f-45e9-9dcd-920a04719bc3" target="_blank">windowslivehelp . com), that way the Hotmail guys can look into it . Sadly it's a never ending battle with the spammers . cheers W |

| 880695 | 2010-04-29 23:26:00 | Hi All . . . The Hotmail spam is getting worse . I have contacted Orcon & am awaiting a reply . Maryann uses livemail on her laptop, on this desktop I use OE . But they are coming thro into OE via orcon . I have been looking around in Livemail & see that it is possible to SET the spam level in JunkMail . Will tell Maryann & see what she wants to do . Is anybody else seeing a rise in Hotmail spam? PJ |

| 880696 | 2010-04-29 23:42:00 | Hi All . . . Three cheers for Orcon . Just got a reply from the helpdesk . Saying that our spam setting was only at "mark as spam" . H e has set it to a higher level . I was not aware it was set there, thought it was higher . PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 880697 | 2010-04-30 05:59:00 | Yeah I got some spam sent from a friend's hotmail addy, only thing is she died on 29th of March! I don't know if anyone can cancel her email or not. Some spammer must have got hold of it. LL |

| 880700 | 2010-05-01 22:40:00 | I would use Gmail instead. Forget about Hotmail | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
