For an instant solution - change your email address! It's not as painful as it sounds.

1) Visit:
http://www.ntlworld.com/help/custome...ilOptions.html

2) Follow 'add extra email boxes' and set up a new email account.

3) Go to the same page but now follow 'set up an autoreply to your email'. Enter your old account details and then set up a message that says something like 'Sorry about this.... spam.... aaagh... please use my new email address which is xxxx at ntlworld dot com'. Anyone that sends an email to your old address will receive this message. Humans will be able to act on it but spam engines will just throw it away. Sorted.
