And another reason why my life sucks

[wiseheart]

As I got home tonight, I checked my Hotmail inbox. The one I have purely for ff.net purposes. There were 61 messages in it (no kidding). Every single bit of them was spam. Junk Mail filters are obviously breaking down or whatnot.

That is life for you, people! *shudders*

The only way I could get rid of junk mail was by setting the Junk Mail filter up to "Exclusive." That means that anybody not on my "Safe List" or in my "Contact List"'s messages end up in my Junk Mail folder. In the beginning, it's a bit annoying to keep adding people to your "Safe Lists" in order to stop it from filtering known messages, but after a month or so, you should be getting nothing but non-spam. :-) It's also really easy to direct all mailing list messages to your inbox, etc.
