So it's a bad thing, and I'd suspect that the minute you stop paying, you are flooded with UCE > 2. I was asked a couple of weeks ago (on demon.service) what other major > ISPs filter email.

Hardly anyone has actually agreed when you've raised this before and it's getting very boring that this keeps coming up almost every week. If you want mail filtering you know how to do it now, either stay with Demon and do it yourself, or switch to an ISP that does it for you, either way, please stop going on about it.
