Re: 4 million spam emails per day
Interesting, I thought the spam filter was due to be introduced at the end of November. My e-mail is forwarded via Spamcop, and I haven't noticed any decrease in the amount of spam Spamcop is intercepting - yet.

Re: 4 million spam emails per day
This week the levels of spam have doubled on one account for me. Today has been a record breaker for me with 21 from midnight to now.

Re: 4 million spam emails per day
This statement from ntl that; "and any emails containing viruses will be removed"
seems a bit ambigouos.
They seem to have stopped emails that I want and also let through 4 W32.Beagle.AV & W.32netsky.D viruses.
If only there were a way to configure their end of the filtering ourselves.......
Maybe we could forward all unwanted & spams to mailto:billgates@microsoft.com he he 
Although we would then be spammers ourselves !
