Interesting about checking the homepage site and constructing email addresses from the directory listing. I just checked now and directory listing is enabled. I turn off directory listing as a matter of basic security. They also have server sig enabled "Apache/1.3.26 Server at homepage.ntlworld.com Port 80" which tells me they're using an old version of Apache. NTL huh

Mailwasher should be banned.
I think we are wishing for effective and efficient Anti-SPAM measures that eliminates SPAM and nothing else.

Even if NTL just get rid of 50% of real SPAM and leave proper messages intact it will be a major improvement.

From what you say,it appears..as if we didn't know..that NTL is behind the times and part of the problem, not part of the solution. Maybe when someone successfully hacks their servers they will sit up and pay attention.
