I was very frustrated to find that hotmail.com marks authentic e-mails as spam, it probably spam-marks e-mails from your domain too. I've asked 2 of my friends who maintain their own domains to send e-mails, both of them ended up in junk. I believe at this level, it's unacceptable. Furthermore, many spam messages get to my inbox already, compared to GMail (which sees more traffic). I believe Hotmail's spam filters are either horribly programmed, or are run for profit (Goodmail-style).

The largest contingent of spam I get is on a domain where I accept undefined addresses (not this one). Spammers just try any old name @ your-domain.
