So far this morning, I’ve had four clients call me to ask if I can “fix” their email. And by “fix” I mean to stop a flood of spam from coming in. All the clients have one thing in common. They’re using Microsoft’s Outlook email service which used to be knows as Hotmail. And in researching this, it seems that spam filtering is completely broken with Outlook at the moment. Leading some to complain loudly on Twitter:
I haven’t seen any official comment or acknowledgement by Microsoft on this issue. But clearly there is an issue that they hopefully will address soon as I can’t imagine how I would handle this situation if I had a Microsoft Outlook email account.
