More details
I was very frustrated to find that hotmail.com marks authentic e-mails as spam, it probably spam-marks e-mails from your domain too. I've asked 2 of my friends who maintain their own domains to send e-mails, both of them ended up in junk. I believe at this level, it's unacceptable. Furthermore, many spam messages get to my inbox already, compared to GMail (which sees more traffic). I believe Hotmail's spam filters are either horribly programmed, or are run for profit (Goodmail-style).
- make my voice heard and help young people’s views to get noticed. When I have an opinion on a news story, I will voice it in the media by commenting online, writing to editors of papers or magazines, or calling in to TV or radio programmes. It’s our news too.
- run at least 20 miles each week until April 5th,
- contribute to the effort, "Give-a-Book: Help a Child Learn,"
- donate $10 to Rep. Jenn Coffey and volunteer at least 5 hours of time to her 2010 re-election

The largest contingent of spam I get is on a domain where I accept undefined addresses (not this one). Spammers just try any old name @ your-domain.
