Everything works great so I'd hope that NTL give me the option to opt out of their attempts at filtering.
Yebbut... what if the choice was staying on unfiltered mailservers at the current level of service or getting your mail from servers benefiting from filtering? Spampal & OE work fine for me, and left to my own devices I can deal with a spampload of roughly 250 a day with very little inconvenience. And that's on dial-up. My problems (well, my email problems!) currently start and end with ntlworld's mailservers - and I don't see how they can fix that without introducing server-side spam filtering.
