Doesn't appear to be much wrong with VM's spam filters.

I have just logged into webmail to check my spam folder, and it is currently holding 184 pieces of junk email for the last 7 days, and allowed through only 8 which my local spam filter caught, bar one.

They use a filtering system called Cloudmark. It seems to do a good job, but given that they won't be using it once we get migrated to the google email platform, the support may not be as good as it was coming to end of contract perhaps.

Interesting too, I have noticed an increase in spam in my Hotmail account, something that Hotmail would normally filter. It's likely then the spam groups have come up with new anti detection routines.
