Pathetic Spam Complaint Responses: Microsoft Hotmail

I received the "I'm Dying. Will You Give My Money to Charity?" spam, delivered directly from a Hotmail server:

Received: from bay0-omc1-s14.bay0.hotmail.com ([65.54.246.86])
		 by mail.spsu.edu with esmtp (Exim 4.43)

Hotmail responded with "not sent from a Hotmail account." Pathetic!

Conclusion: Microsoft is not interested in stopping spam from Hotmail. Corollary: You should refuse mail from Hotmail servers.

Evidence: the original spam email and Hotmail's response.

I actually got two of these, sent from the same Hotmail server within seconds of each other. I complained twice and got the same pathetic response twice. I've only posted one here.

(My own email address in above and in the 'EVIDENCE' links has been munged to prevent other spammers from harvesting it from these pages. You can un-munge it by inspection; just remove MUNGED. Complete contact information for me is here: http:/contact.html).
