Hotmail Aims to Can Spam
Microsoft will use Brightmail's spam-filtering technology to prevent unsolicited messages from reaching your inbox.

MSN Hotmail users may see a decrease in spam clogging up their inboxes in coming weeks, Microsoft said Wednesday, as it announced a deal with Brightmail to incorporate the company's spam-filter technology in its free e-mail service.
Microsoft said that it will deploy Brightmail's Solution Suite to filter spam at the incoming SMTP gateway, before it is delivered to Hotmail users' inboxes.
The spam guard will be fully deployed later this year, Microsoft said, to serve Hotmail's 110 million worldwide users.
