Thanks for your message to MSN Hotmail. The account that you reported is
not a valid Hotmail account. The individual is forging message headers,
suggesting that the message originated with Hotmail. E-mail addresses
beginning with numbers are not valid. E-mail addresses that have
additional information in the domain name are also not valid.

Examples:
2abd@hotmail.com
ilovetrash@hot.hotmail.com

All message headers from the Hotmail system include a line that reads
[X-originating-IP] to ensure that the message is an authentic message
from our system.

Example:

Tue 02 July 1997 13:47:27 PST
X-Originating-IP: [123.4.567.89]
From: "Scarlett O'Hara" scarlett0gwtw@hotmail.com


Hotmail members cannot post directly to newsgroups. Members must go
through an independent news-posting service or use another e-mail
program.

We have actively pursued legal action against many of these spammers who
are forging addresses from the Hotmail domain.  Please help us by
forwarding all unsolicited e-mail with the Hotmail domain name in the
headers or bodies to abuse@hotmail.com
