Not using hotmail, I have a suspicion that this is controlled by a user setting for spam filtering, or alternately is a function of using m$n as one's ISP rather than just an email address. Whatever the case, it is too coarse of a setting for filtering email as potential spam - comparable in wisdom to filtering every email address from a source of commercially available email access, on the reasoning a spammer could connect to that domain. -- Mark L.
