So many that Outlook locks and stops downloading even changing setting and nothing happens. so I have to use the webmail which is so ssssslllllllooooowww any one would think I have a dial up service.
any Ideas when NTL are going to bother filtering???
Also are there any ISP in the Harlow Essex area that I can switch to and still use my NTL cable modem (which I own) I'm even thing of going back to Dialup via Global Internet have anti-virus & spam filter all emails for free.
1488 emails in four days? You need to either:-

a) Stop signing up for porn

b) Stop sticking your most important email address in every site that asks for it

c) Scan your pc for viri/spyware/adware.

Everyone gets spam, but if youre getting this much you really need to assess the way you use the internet. Its all well and good moaning about ntls below par spam filter, but mummy cant hold your hand all the time. You need to take some responsibility for why youre experiencing spam in this volume. If needs be you can always use one of the 15 addresses to which youre entitled to enter in the sites you must be signing up for.
