Figured I'd dive into my little-used Hotmail account after reading a cool Salon piece about open-source spam busting programs. In about a month, I ended up seeing 200 pieces of e-mail in my inbox, even though I haven't given out that address to anyone I know in eons. I think it's still on a CNNSI.com list while testing out some fantasy stuff, but that's it. Oh yeah, 9 messages ended up in the Junk Mail folder thanks to the sophisticated filtering they've got over there. I suppose if I actually used that account, I'd be well beyond 200 spam messages, like it seems with both my home and work accounts.
