Hello name,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Customer Service. 

This appears to be an email user of Microsoft Hotmail who is hitting your computer, not Microsoft Corporation. You have submitted your request to abuse@microsoft.com, and this would be the appropriate place to submit your request, if the unwanted communication either were coming from Microsoft directly, or someone purporting or pretending to be Microsoft.

As this appears to be coming from someone who is merely using Microsoft's free email service, "Hotmail", we would suggest directing your requests in the future of such matters to abuse@hotmail.com, as they would have the wherewithal to address such issues regarding their users.

I have took the liberty of forwarding your issue to abuse@hotmail.com in hopes that they can address your needs regarding this matter.

If you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to reply to this email.

Thank you,
Christian S.
Electronic Customer Support

Subject:  Please stop testing your products on my server

Hello,

Today I'm receiving many requests on my server from one of your IPs. These requests look like this one:

131.107.163.48 - - [05/May/2003:21:51:06 +0900] "GET /phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=325&amp;sid=b8304d8e1ea563a1583e7317f46c6b8a HTTP/1.1" 200 110 "-" "MicrosoftPrototypeCrawler (How's my crawling? mailto:newbiecrawler@hotmail.com)"

While these requests do not compromise the security of my server, nor do they cause a burden, I just don't like Microsoft testing their products on my domain/servers/equipment/whatever. Please stop hitting my machine.

I'm contacting abuse@microsoft.com and noc@microsoft.com because these are two of the addresses listed in the whois entry for the network block. 

Thanks in advance,
