I think NTL putting spam filters on the mail servers would be a very bad idea.

No spam filter is perfect, some spam will get thru, also some legitimate email will get flagged as spam.

If this was done on the mail server, and a very important email you've been waiting for accidentaly gets marked as spam & deleted you will never get to see it.

I think the best way is to use a spam filter yourself.
I'm using SpamPal right now, seems the best of the ones I've tried. Also you have some control over what is & what isn't spam, and can set it up so that emails from your friends are always let thru.
