It's very hard to install a spam filter filtering spam coming from
public mailers, like Hotmail. The spammers send their mails using
different account on a public mailer every time. You can't just put the
entire Hotmail into the badmailfrom file.

Better solution is to use a filter looking for well known web or other
links in the message bodies. That works, but consumes more CPU time.
