Absolutely right, and I've repped accordingly - thanks Mav.

Agreed. Aside from the fact that one day in and the system is already giving too many false positives (including mails from it's own servers) it is NOT up to ntl to decide on what email I want to receive.
Irrespective of whether I delete spam messages before downloading or reading them, what ntl is doing is the equivalent of my postman throwing the loan and double glazing junk mail in the roadside bin before putting it through my letterbox.
One day I might just need some double glazing (and the loan to pay for it) - and besides it would be illegal for postie to do that.
So why do ntl think it's OK for them to do exactly the same? Does this breach some sort of rule/contract? I'm in the mood for a fight
