100% agree with tech but would also add a d) Stop hitting the remove me link at the bottom of spam, as this only confirms your email addy.

I get about 350 spam emails per day and about 3 to 4 attached viruses. To combat this I have a legal "dare I say" Norton Internet Security :o that only lets 2 or three emails in to my inbox, then just scan the subject line and hit the empty the spam filter box and POOF it's gone. Most of my spam comes from the three domains I have my NTL account gets about two a day.

If NTL ever did get a working spam filter working I beat we would get loads of posts to CF " I have been waiting for an urgent email but NTLs crap spam filter keeps stopping it as spam" so my vote would be keep it as is so I can see all my email and sort it myself with the help of "NORTON" :o

P.S I have never signed up for any porn site, it would seem that others have or a robot just scans the domain web sites for email addys.
