The message
from Chris French and Helen Johnson
contains these words:

ISP has spam filter, ISP filters out what it thinks is spam, someone
doesn't receive an email, loses big contract, sues ISP.......? Though
most ISP's seem to bringing something like this in.

Personally I wouldn't trust an ISP not to cock it up.

My ISP kills only spam which is 'known', which means I get between three
and ten spam items a day. Only the very freshest virus isn't killed on
the server.

I do trust Zetnet not to cock it up.

Actually most of the crap we are getting isn't spam anyway, but endless
variations of one virus or another. Or auto replies from virus scanners
etc. telling me that someone sent out a virus email using a fake email
address at my domain - idiots.

Ah. I don't get any of that.

Dave mentioned somewhere about having a valid Reply-to address. I've
been doing that for some years now. While the from address is harvested,
the reply to's haven't received any significant spam at all. Though I do
use a disposable address, just in case. I much prefer this to a junk
address.

There are trojans now which given the opportunity, will ransack your
kept mail and news if you use OE, and scan the headers for addresses.
