I'm sorry Alexander Graham Bell, we can't possibly accept this new 
fangled telephone thing you've just invented because the above quote 
claims a catch 22 for deployment. It'll never work

I thought the issue with hotmail was that you just made the spam appear 
to come from the recipient or from one of the main hotmail "special 
offer" accounts and then it would just sail right through. Certainly 
this happens with mailblocks - it can't block mail apparently coming 
from yourself.
