Can a user close a Hotmail address? I was under the impression that the only
way was to decline to log into it for long enough that MS cancels it on you.
It is possible that the perpetrator deliberately loaded its to quota so that
any incoming mail would be bounced for going over quota; Chuq didn't say what
reason the bounces gave.

Have we seen anyone willing to participate in on-topic discussion before
getting the spam in? Maybe moderating new users is still effective.
