Microsoft to Nuke Evil Spammers
Or atleast that’s what I make of this -
[16:08:18 jaidev@~]$ host -t mx hotmail.com
hotmail.com mail is handled by 5 mx1.hotmail.com.
hotmail.com mail is handled by 5 mx2.hotmail.com.
hotmail.com mail is handled by 5 mx3.hotmail.com.
hotmail.com mail is handled by 5 mx4.hotmail.com.
[16:08:21 jaidev@~]$ telnet mx4.hotmail.com 25
Trying 65.54.244.104...
Connected to mx4.hotmail.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 bay0-mc4-f19.bay0.hotmail.com Sending unsolicited commercial or bulk e-mail to Microsoft's computer network is prohibited. Other restrictions are found at http://privacy.msn.com/Anti-spam/. Violations will result in use of equipment located in California and other states. Fri, 2 Feb 2007 02:37:54 -0800
And we thought they couldn’t innovate. The threat to use equipment located in California might just be the greatest innovation since electricity.

I recently telnetted into hotmail’s servers, read the message and thought the exact same thing.
