Well, as near as I can tell, Microsoft is already removing most of the
spam posts from their own server. One of the biggest offenders is the
"paypal accept" messages, and a quick search on Microsoft's current server
state shows none of those messages to be present.

But as I pointed out earlier, removing the messages manually is still
going to result in a wide window of time during which someone would still
wind up downloading the messages. So even with Microsoft removing the
messages, there's a good chance someone using their server will still wind
up getting the messages.

As I said previously, they need to remove them faster. Currently it is
taking days, if it took a few minutes then it would be pretty much
eliminated.
