I think you need 'From: "Peter Lauri" <peter@lauri.se>' for starters.

There's spam, and then there's spam.
I suspect Hotmail just completely trashes some spam, and delivers
others to the User for their spam filtering.
It's a multi-layer complex system, almost-for-sure.
Not to mention that Hotmail is so unreliable, you can't even rely on
it to deliver mail at all, so I gave up worrying about it long ago.
In email receiving, you get what you pay for.
Except AOL, where you don't even get that much.
YMMV
