Not really. The Bulk Mail feature allows you to specify certain addresses that
are not classified as Spam no matter what.
When the feature first started I was cautious, so I checked my "Bulk Mail"
folder every day to see if it didn't take any real email accidently. The first
thing I spotted was the quotes-r-us daily mail I get which went as spam; a
solution was simple, I clicked on the button saying "this is not bulk mail",
and now every email coming from that address goes through.
After a month that I saw that absolutely no (other) real email passed as spam,
I turned on the feature that automatically throws away the spam. Very simple,
and very effiecent.
I would like to get my own address with more (or unlimited :-) space, but for
now hotmail is fine for me. I would recommend it.
