Four Million a day :eek: :disturbd:

I used to get over 200 a day, but in the last few days this figure has halved. Has NTL introduced a spam filter that I dont know about?

I believe they must have, my ntl spams have dropped by 50% in the last week.

Er.... YES !!
But they've stopped lots of my valid emails which Im only just now realising that they've stopped ! :mad:

Interesting, I thought the spam filter was due to be introduced at the end of November. My e-mail is forwarded via Spamcop, and I haven't noticed any decrease in the amount of spam Spamcop is intercepting - yet.

I would have put this in just now but forgot where it was & only just found it. :dozey:

This week the levels of spam have doubled on one account for me. Today has been a record breaker for me with 21 from midnight to now.

I'm still getting the same amount of spam.Spamnet sorts it out though. ;)

Do you really think a man as rich as him needs that ;)

Re: 4 million spam emails per day
 

good news then! Only 96 today....around half again

Re: 4 million spam emails per day
 

This statement from ntl that; "and any emails containing viruses will be removed"
seems a bit ambigouos.

They seem to have stopped emails that I want and also let through 4 W32.Beagle.AV & W.32netsky.D viruses.

If only there were a way to configure their end of the filtering ourselves.......
Maybe we could forward all unwanted & spams to mailto:billgates@microsoft.com he he :p:

Although we would then be spammers ourselves ! :rolleyes:
