Not ASMTP. Hotmail's webmail is accessible from other clients using a
WebDAV API. Outlook Express (and some clients like Gotmail available on
freshmeat) implement this API. So do some spamware clients apparently -
spammers seem to have got hold of a way to automate creation of
hotmail accounts and posting through their web interface.
Hotmail seems to have cracked down on this a lot though - the problem is
not nearly as bad as it was a while back. And remember the recent
stories about Microsoft suing some spammers? Those are / were the
idiots who were spamming through hotmail.
