Re: How should NTL handle spam ?

Know exactly what you mean, there should be the option of a user controlled server side spam filter.

Well yes, but you then have to download the e-mail and run the filters on it. What you really want is something like SpamAssassin which does the same as SpamPal but on the server side.

SpamAssassin has given me no false positives and has missed a tiny amount of spam, which probably could have been caught if I had tweaked the settings.

Exactly!
