What hapens if an email is marked as spam and dumped and it is not spam. How is the user going to get the mail ??? How is the user going to get NTL to remove the sender from the spam list ???
I have no problems with the compulsary flaging of the mail - GREAT - but please dont lets get into a culture of deleting first and asking questions later.

Brightmail's developers believe that a false-positive mistakeââ‚à ‚¬Ã¢â‚¬ÂÂsay, a note from a client treated as spamââ‚ ¬Ã¢â‚¬ÂÂcan be very costly. True to that mission, Brightmail Anti-Spam (BAS) yielded not a single false positive on our tests. It did let 11.1 percent of the messages we deemed as spam through to our in-box, but that number was not out of line with the others here (the range was a low of 7 percent to a high of 37.9 percent, as shown on the chart below).
