Sorry John I disagree completely it is ISP's not doing anything that allows spammers to thrive.
Marking e-mails as spam but still allowing them through the network does nothing to reduce the traffic at all even if it would make it slightly easier for users to dump the content the issue is about getting this traffic completely off the net in the first place.
As most spammers make sure they stay away from locations where they could be dealt with at source the only possible solution is for ISP's to deal with it server side. Once spammers know their efforts wont get results they may well be forced to change their ways.
As for trust in NTL they may mess up now and again but overall they are managing to maintain the network at a reasonable level for the vast majority of users. So no, I wont be back here complaining if a few odd emails get caught by any new system I will be praising them for the efforts they are making and trying to work with them to resolve any issues that arrise in a constructive way instead.
