Your webmail account is exactly the same service in terms of what goes in and out of it as any email that you send from or to your computer. There are no extra filters. The only noticeable difference with ntlwebmail, is if you send via the web, your message will have an ntl "advert" tag line added as a footer.
The best way to reduce spam is to use an email addy that is difficult for spam programs to guess. Spammers know the ntlworld.com bit, so they then just have software send messages to all the usual derivatives of firstnames, surnames and so on. Get a few random characters and numbers in there and it's harder to guess. Avoid publishing your email addy on websites (spammers scan for those), and be careful who you reply to so your email addy isn't being sent to harvesting sites.
