You offer some good advice on tackling spam. But I think NTL could provide some filtering to block emails from known spam relays. If other ISP's can do it, why can't NTL. Other ISP's have as many inboxes to cope with.

I run software to deal with spam, and it automatically blacklists certain senders by comparing the header with its own central database without me doing anything. NTL could run something like this. It will not stop everything but it might stop some. I've just deleted 16 emails for the last 12 hours....all spam.

Unfortunately, I rely on my main email address now, so changing it is really not an option for the most part. I can and do use modified addresses for certain sites and the Usenet, but once on the spammers lists it is impossible to get off, without an address change, so come on NTL....give us all some help.
