Messagelabs March Report makes interesting reading linked to at http://www.messagelabs.com/emailthreats/ also click on the spam tab on the graphs.This shows a growing trend of spam mail with a slight dip in March but i gather that April will increase.
Spam generally is on the increase so if NTL block x% and allow y% then as spam mail gets bigger every month so does the y% amount that gets through.There is also an article on spam zombie bots on the October link on that url i gave above zombie bots are harder to overcome.
NTL's system is NOT outsourced by the way
