Default NTL improved spam trapping



In the last week or so I've noticed my percentage of spam emails
has dropped from over 90% to virtually zero. Has anyone else
noticed this?

If you look on the ntlworld web site, there are options for setting spam
filters for your e-mail accounts.

They also now do free anti-virus and firewalls for ntl customers, with
promises of parental control and other security features soon.
Personally I haven't tried the free software, but at least it's a start.

I never said you were - I said you could have.

You're right, I don't know anything about you, and from your tone, I
don't think I really want to.

Nope - all I did was point out that you can get AOL on top of NTL.
That's all - no taking sides, no comment other than that.

I know nothing about you, just wanted to point out the ntl / aol thing.
If you can't understand that, then that's your problem. I even put a
smiley in the original post, but no, you go on the attack....

No wonder people go off newsgroups when they can't even post a simple
factual point.
