Hotmail, similar to other mailing addresses can be used for a large number of websites, to receive online subscriptions, to fill up forms, to outlook Sign-up to other websites among other things. And, due to this we often tend to get a pile of unwanted emails. Large number of such emails is spam and others we would just like them to stop, say, an online subscription you subscribed to two years ago. Creating hotmail block list sounds pretty impressive and useful. It works fairly well to stop the unwanted subscriptions but is practically useless against spam as they just use different addresses. But, blocking senders can come handy when you want annoying people to stop emailing you.
