I highly doubt the script will be ran again just for hotmail users. It was annoying enough the first time and the more mass mailing it does, the more likely it is to get blocked by even more email systems.

There aren't many options that we have from the eqemulator.net end. Any blocked email issues would have to be resolved on your end. Personally, I used hotmail from the very beginning of it before MS bought it. It was really great then. Every since MS took over, it has been down hill. I just re-enabled my 10 year old hotmail account and within 1 day, I already had 5+ spams in my actual inbox... I haven't even used that account in years other than to check it occasionally for emails of things I used it for to sign up with. I moved to Gmail when it first entered beta and have never even once considered going back to hotmail for any reason. Gmail is amazing for so many reasons, but I am not going to go over them here. I hate to put down an email service, and I know these forums are not the place to discuss this type of thing. But, if you all were using gmail to begin with, you wouldn't be in this type of situation :P

It really amazes me, that my hotmail account got 5 spam emails directly to my inbox in less than 1 day of use and yet they block the only legit email I was hoping to come to that inbox! How much worse could it get? Gmail never has issues like that. It is extremely rare that an actual spam reaches my inbox, and I have never once missed an email that was sent to me legitimately.
