By contrast, using the above figures, a personal account recieving 50 emails a day would typically drop 2 emails a year.
It boils down to being a numbers game.

Yes, but the point I'm trying to make is that NTL's spam filtering need not be nearly as strict as the filtering I use in MailWasher, but it can still be better than it is now. I'm sure there's some middle ground here, whereby a good deal of spam is blocked without blocking normal emails.
