So it's a bad thing, and I'd suspect that the minute you stop paying,
you are flooded with UCE

Yes that's all very well, but Mindspring aren't Demon, AOL aren't
Demon. 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.
