Junk Email.

Can hotmail do something about the junk email I've been getting again?  It started up 2 days ago.  Why is it happening again?  How is it getting through?

This is actually odd, as Hotmail is said to have the best spam filter around.  Is it actually going into your spam folder or directly into your inbox? 

If I were you I would remember any websites that I have signed up for recently.  If you haven't signed up for anything, than what likely happened is someone else signed up for something using your email address.  It may not have even be intentional, but it happens.  Unfortunately there's really nothing you can do though, you can mark items as spam or blacklist email addresses but the odds of the problem getting fixed are quite slim.  Hotmail is through Windows, Windows is through Microsoft, and Microsoft is known for being stubborn.
