How does Microsoft Live@edu handle spam?
There are a number of methodologies to combat spam on the Windows Live Hotmail platform. SmartScreenTM Technology learns to detect spam based on you reporting spam in your inbox. SenderID Framework matches the sender’s email 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 email undergoes a virus check/scan. However, since the anti-virus tools are server side, this does not apply if you use POP.
