LOL, trust me, Incognitas already knows this

How do I know that they aren't blocking legitimate messages that I would want to receive?
Leave it to the user to sort their own SPAM out, or better still educate them about why they're receiving so much SPAM.
The only emails that ever come to me are from companies whom I have given my email address to for that purpose. I never receive any unsolicited email.

The introduction of Brightmail onto the ntl anti spam platform should give the end user the option to decide how ntl deals with spam. This will prove usefull, as I'd rather trust my firebird program than ntl to tell me what's spam and what isn't.
