[LINK] hotmail hits a new low

[Chris Maltby]

Below is a bounce message a colleague of mine recently received to
a message he sent to a hotmail address in July 2005.

I know that delivery to hotmail can be problematic at best, but
to sit on a message for two and a half years before bouncing it
could well be a new record...
