Scott, you need to post to /. on this
http://slashdot.org/articles/01/08/09/1254204.shtml
there are other IBMers saying otherwise. also several folks are posting
their hotmail experiences (real or imagined).

Who has the most exotic Sircam messages? I've gotten them from every
continent except .aq (still waiting on that one). Within 24 hours, I got
sircam messages from .in .kr .de .es .fr .uk .cl .br .ca .mx and of course
.com and .edu but the most exotic was from .ga (hint it was in french).
