My mail is structured very oddly, I have to admit.
If you go to
http://selfcare.ntlworld.com and login, you can setup mailforwarding and forward it to any mail address you want.
My ntl mail is forwarding to my Virgin.net account, stripped of as much spam and as many viruses as it can pickup, then forwarded automatically from there to my domain email which has SpamAssasin setup, which strips the remaining viruses and spam from it (I forward it to Virgin first to lower the load on my server as I do get a lot of spam on my ntl address and I don't particularly want all my bandwith, which I pay for, to be used up by spam), it is then forwarded from my domain email address to my gmail account, where the last of Spam and Viruses are stripped and put into the Spam folder. Hence, I never get any spam or virii :p
So it goes..
NTL > Virgin > Domain > Gmail
(if you're interested, my domain mail goes differently..
Domain > Virgin > GMAIL)
I don't have to put up with advertisements as I don't forward it to Hotmail, that was just a suggestion to you as its easily accessible.
As I said previously, normally even when you cannot log into the ntl mail server because it is down, or timing out or whatever, the mail will still automatically forward, esentially taking the ntl servers and their current status out of the equation, which is great. Should't have to do it, as we pay for this service, but until Mx6 is deployed (the server upgrades) does the job
