 | View Full Version : Hotmail- NT? The Laughing Cow 02-28-2002, 02:54 PM I just wondered this as I was checking the hotmail account. Microsoft being quite stuck up- do you think they must use NT based servers for Hotmail? I'm unsure cos they seem to be too reliable :D Anyone know the score? RDX1 02-28-2002, 04:31 PM i doubt microsoft uses unix machines for a host .::DefCon::. 02-28-2002, 04:37 PM Yep... that's pretty unlikely. :rolleyes: The Laughing Cow 02-28-2002, 04:40 PM I just wonder how hotmail stays online JG 02-28-2002, 04:42 PM :D http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/23348.html allera 02-28-2002, 05:17 PM They used to, if they still don't now, run on FreeBSD. ;) Devorius 02-28-2002, 05:26 PM Regardless of what it runs on, Hotmail is just crap. Over half my e-mails to Hotmail users never go through. IGobyTerry 02-28-2002, 05:47 PM 90% of the emails that I receive daily is spam, and on average I get about 50-60 emails a day. That's even with a block user of list of 250 email addresses.... hotmail won't let me block anymore. The Laughing Cow 02-28-2002, 05:48 PM I do get a lot of spam, though I use the domain blocking thing at hotmail you get now. You can choose to block @usualspam.com kunal 03-01-2002, 04:46 AM hotmail initially used bsd... and microsoft attempted to move it to NT... it suceeded in moving some... but hasnt moved all the servers to NT... |
