Reporting SPAM to NTL ?

[snifferg]

Do NTL have an email address to redirect/report SPAM to ? - I don't get much but I'm getting sick of being told that I have been setup on a 'blind date' with someone - the missus is getting suspicious !!!!

Spam and Ntl is unfortunately a fact of life. Reporting it to ntl will probably result in absolutely nothing.

Ntl's "useful" advice on Spam can be found at http://www.ntlworld.com/help/aup/dealingwithspam.php for what it's worth.

In simple terms, as is said elsewhere on this forum, many ntl email addys are guessed by the spammers. That's how you get junk even to email addys you have never given to a soul. If you really want to rid yourself of spam, get an spamwasher program, and change your addy to something unguessable.
