ntl Spam and Virus utility

[Matth]

Well, I'd be happy if they implemented pure DUL blocking - 99% of spam comes that way, and any legitimate mailers have to be prepared to work with the DUL provider in question.

Freeserve/Wanadoo use spamtagging (optional spamdumping selected in web interface).
Their tagging is generally too aggressive, leaving, for instance, Serif's special offer mailings spamtagged.

My workaround (and I know there are flaws), is that I peeled all the previous spamtagged mail to a folder, examined it and noted all the "friendly" addresses, then built an OE rule that discarded anything spamtagged that was not from a "friendly" address - it would be better if they used the web interface address book for spamtag opt-out.

do you answer to the name of Trevor? are you clever? - funny cos I was listening to the Wreckless Eric version on 'Brand New Boots & Panties' when i read your post

I still get spam on one ntl addy, not on the other, this I think is entirely due to a 'mailto' link on my original ntl webspace. (now deleted)

I used to use Mailwasher, but I have found the extra features in the ZoneAlarm 'Security Suite' work well enough to dispense with it. Plus increasingly I am using my Gmail account as my main one (2113MB storage, now ) and spam is just not a problem on Gmail (so far ).
