How Does LIVE@SPS handle spam?
There are a number of methodologies to combat spam on the Outlook Live platform. SmartScreen™ Technology learns to detect spam based on you reporting spam in your inbox. SenderID Framework matches the sender’s e-mail address against their IP address to protect against spoofing. About 95% of all spam and 99% of image-based spam are blocked. While spam traffic has increased 40% across the Internet, Hotmail spam is down 80% over the past year thanks to the work of our spam-fighting team and technologies. If using the Web interface, all e-mail undergoes a virus check/scan. However, since the anti-virus tools are on the server side, this does not apply if you use POP. See http://mail.live.com/mail/postmaster.aspx for more details.
