But with the new mail system comes Defender Lite which seems to be
filtering out spam for most people. I get the impression spam
filtering has been dropped on the old system.

Don't want spam filtered thanks, I can deal with it quite easily via
Mailwasher at the moment and some spam isn't, so I can unstick those
emails and some nonspam is (if you get my drift) so choose not to
download those!

It's a bit of a dark art and there is a fine balance between being
effective and being over enthusiastic and generating what are referred
to as false positives.

Part of the fine art is a list of addresses from which most spam
originates.

Or an application that learns how to recognise junk.

No but I have had the Bridge group that sends out details of the next
lessons, being seen as spam by Mailwasher let alone if Demon took it
upon themselves to start filtering for me. Why can't we opt for
untouched or filtered mail?

Under MW I have easily been able to delete even when you sometimes get
50 of the same thing. No problem,

Mailwasher learns and it has a very easy interface to work with.

I've never needed Mailwasher as I have always used Agent for Usenet
and Email.
