Does anyone have a solution to getting rid of all the hundreds of unsolicited translation offers from freelance translators all over the world? Their e-mail address (Hotmail.com) is normally extended with a {1}.

In your email client, set the following filter:

Match all of the following:
"From" "contains" "@hotmail1.com"
and choose the action to be performed (move to "spam" folder, or delete, or delete from POP server)

All this can be set depending on your email client options and your decision.

You can also add @hotmail1.com to the blacklist at your email server.

Thank you - but ... Jan 28, 2016

... the thing is, that the "1" is attached to the person's name: soandso1[at]hotmail.com

I was rather hoping you would be able to tell me the overall spam sender.
