I don't think this is the problem here. The emails I was referring to are sent to
several different NTL email addresses (how many I have no idea as all but one are BCC), and I have yet to see one where the main recipient wasn't an NTL email address. Too many coincidences there...
However about 3 days ago these emails suddenly stopped, so maybe somebody has tracked down the source of them.
For now I'll keep the NTL spam filter turned off though, as in the last 24 hours is has flagged 2 genuine emails (one from CNet) as spam.
