Hotmail NOC Contact

yeah,

We do hosting for about 300,000 users in our shared environment. They have forwarders setup or aliases that send to their external addresses. This forwards their spam as well. We purchased quite a few barracuda servers and became their case study for outbound units. They actually do a really good job at blocking the spam. But as spam changes every minute, we can only get updates every hour. The mail forwarders is the only spam that come from our network. Try subscribing to hotmails reporting services so you get reports on spam from your IP address, and they have the online reports that show if you add your AS so you can see a report for all ip's in your network.

Hi Micheal,

We do host mail for about 100 companies, but no remailing.
