I don't think NTL should "filter" for spam at all. It's the sort of server load that would make an already slow delivery even slower.

The simplest and IMHO most effective anti-spam method is to operate a black-list that blocks IP addresses of known spam originators.

This method is far better both for bandwidth and server load. Plus it removes (virtually) any possibility of blocking legitimate mail.
