I do not know if it would make a difference but if there are a lot of these type of email accounts using resorces on an already not perfect email service, surely closing them will free up the system a bit.
Sorry if that made no sense. I know what I mean, just having trouble putting it in writing today for some reason

Nice of you to think of ntl in that way. On the other hand perhaps if ntl offered some sort of spam filtering systme, there servers wouldn't need to be so cluttered.
I would'nt worry about it taking up too much space on the server though, and it would have little effect even if everyone had fulish inboxes. Ntl have their servers set to autodelete old mail that isn't collected (I think after 90 days?) so that will keep the volume down. On the other hand if the mailbox is full of unclaimed stuff, new mails will bounce back as undeliverable so annoying the spammer (unless they are using a spoofed server). Either way, if it's not an email addy you need, you can safely ignore it.
