How to Block Hotmail Contacts
Hotmail is a free email service provided by the Microsoft Corporation. One feature of Hotmail is that you can block people from sending you email. This is useful if someone has ignored your requests to remove you from his mailing list. After you add a contact's email address to the "Blocked senders list," you won't have to worry about receiving messages from that address again.

Tips & Warnings
The "Blocked senders list" isn't only for email addresses; you can add a domain to the list as well. For example, if you receive unwanted emails advertising "examplesite.com," you can add the site to the "Blocked senders list" and will no longer receive email from the domain.
