Microsoft limits Hotmail to stop spam
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft this weekend revealed that it has limited a feature of its MSN Hotmail service in order to better combat spam, or junk email. Effective immediately, Hotmail subscribers are limited to sending 100 emails each day, which is far more email than most Hotmail users send daily. However, that limit will help Microsoft prevent spammers from using the service to spread junk mail. This tactic follows a similar change last year that prevented Hotmail users from sending email to more than 50 people at a time.
