How could any ISP justify blocking an entire server - especially from an ISP? This is bonkers.

Surely spam filtering could only work if the end user is in control. All it needs is a button within webmail that says "this is spam".

If my Hotmail account does block any mail then it goes into the "Junk Mail" folder.

I don't personally use any filtering on my Hotmail account, as I'd rather get spam than miss important mails. Unfortunately the NTL email account doesn't give me - a mere mortal user - the option to do this, as aunty NTL knows what's best. They really are clueless.
