I can't believe that 90% of voters want to trust NTL with the responsibility of handling spam

Have you forgotten that NTL always makes a mess of what ever it does - nothing ever goes right? This site is stuffed with complaints about NTL yet most of you are still quite happy to trust them.

I voted to leave spam alone. Not because I want spam left alone but because I want NTL to leave spam alone. I know they'd made a mess of it - bouncing loads of legit emails or marking them as spam. At the moment I use SpamPal and it's regex filter. All my spam is caught with very few false positives.

We should be stopping the spam at source before it's even sent rather than relying on ISPs to configure their networks to block it. That approach doesn't make sense and isn't a long-term solution.
