I hate to admit it ... but whoever did the new spam filters on Hotmail did a great job.

I've just got to tweak MT's configuration now. When someone comments here, I'm notified by email; the "from address is the commenter's". However, when there is no email address attached to the comment, I receive email "from" my own address. That, rightfully, goes to spam (too easy to spoof). If I made email required, it would just inconvenience privacy-conscious people (and make them put "nospam@joe.com" anyway). If you're interested in the solution(s), I've started a thread on the Movable Type forums.
