Thats the potential problem. This happened to me when Freedom2Surf (ADSL ISP) implemented spam email blocking. They now have spam blocking optional - which all ISP's should do. That way, for people like myself, i prefer to manage my own spam program to determine what I deem spam, and what I deem OK.

If I make sense......

Fully agree with the virus scanning though. Good job ntl...
"However, we hope to block the vast majority of unsolicited email, and give you control over how we deal with suspected spam emails destined for your mailbox when this programme is complete next year."

Hopefully that should avoid any lost mail problems caused by the system.
