Excuse my four-penny worth, but I think if this were the case we would see more postings on CF confirming what you are saying. Spam is a strange thing and seems to affect some more than others. The spam I get I know why one domain is hit more than others, I used a bit of software that was said to get you noticed in all the major search engines and not reading the full instructions I used one of my domain email accounts as the contact email, yes my site did start to be listed by the search engines and I got to number one or top 5 on that listing but the amount of spam went through the roof, slowly itâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s getting less and less, also sadly I used to hit the remove me link at the bottom of the spam email. So it was a case of hoisted by my own petard. That was two years ago.

Regarding getting spam on an unused NTL email account I would say is down to person or persons unknown have some way been able to get access to your address book / accounts or you have hacked off a person who has access to your account. But NTL as a company selling your details they would have to be mad as the money they would make would be far outweighed by the money they would loose if this was found to be true.

Why donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t you make another NTL address with the same name and just add 123 donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t add it to your email client accounts list, just check it from time to time with web mail and see how long it takes to get spam on that account, if your right it will happen! But I bet you it will never get one email apart from the welcome one.
