I normally don't care about spammers, I have my Hotmail Junkmail filter set to Exclusive. But these fuckwads are putting my address in the From: field. They've done it before, but now I'm pissed.
[Update - 1720h]
I've reported them to Sprint through spamcop.net earlier today. sprint.net is the service they're using to do this.

...these fuckwads...
Oh oh... I've never seen that term before - it must mean that you're REALLY pissed.
I want so badly to block the Hotmail member service announcements. They never have important information anyway!
The same thing happened to me this morning!
I have my hotmail filter set to exclusive, and this morning, I got one in my inbox. Boy was I pissed. :P
Then go back to your Inbox and look at the spam message. Look for "advloan.advloans.com" in the e-mail header.
Set the Mail Display back to Basic when you're done =)
That pisses me off even more. WTF??
The spam got real bad on yahoo!. So bad, in fact, that when Yahoo! decided ot start charging, I went elsewhere. I have three or four email addresses now. Yahoo is my public one, and it still pisses me off that I've got to troll through the 100+ spam messages a day.
Now, I generally filter everything into separate mailboxes and delete anything left over in my inbox after a cursory glance to see if anyone I know sent something.
Not the most efficient way to do it, but I've got emails set up for job-hunting, personal projects and an anonymous one.... I know the spam will be waiting for me in my Yahoo! box. I'm in no hurry to go back.
The slimeshits at Yahoo added a new sponsorship/advertisement thing and by default, set everyone's profile to receive=yes.
Check your profile under "Account Info" -> "Edit your marketing preferences." I bet they're all set to "Yes".
Did that as soon as I noticed--a few months back. I'm not sure it really changes much, since I also doubt that Yahoo! is hosting the mailing lists. I think they're just selling them off.
Every now and again, I go and create a ticker--aemail address I use for teh sole purpose of tracking who sells their mailing lists. Mailcity.Com did it--it's why my cat started getting pre-approved American Express applications... Hotmail did it in 1997. That's why I left them...
But I've used the Yahoo! acct for over five years now. It's far too public and everyone's got it on their list. I think there's some value in having a public address and a number of private ones..
