First of all, I am very upset.  For the past couple days I have been receiving emails from {removed email address}, in the subject line it says "Delivery Status Notification (Delay).  In the email it says "Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed"  Then it lists some email address that I have NEVER sent an email to.  This morning I had over 120 separate emails like this, all for different email addresses. I checked a few of them and then clicked on phising scam, thinking that maybe that would help me not get those emails anymore. And NOW I can't even send an email because it's telling me that "You've reached the limit for how many messages you can send in 24 hours. Please save your message and send it later". I hope these 120 emails that I received about the delivery notification isnt' causing this.  I have had this email account for over 10 years, I should NOT have a limit as to how many emails I can send a day.  I have only sent approximately 5-10 emails in the past 24 hours from this account.  Fix this immediately!!!!  This is my only way of communicating with anyone right now, if not fixed soon, I will set up an email account elsewhere and recommend to everyone I know and blog about how people should NOT use hotmail for this reason.
