Doesn't Tiscali have a spam filter you can turn on like BT?

I would assume not from you question.

2 practical suggestions

1) change your ISP to one that does

2) it's possible you are getting so many because your name is in your email (eg, johnsmith@etc). A lot of spam is computer generated, and they use name combo's. If you have a facilities for more than one email, devise a name more random, and start using that - that way you'll get less spam, and the "right" mails will be easier to pick out.

Or, just thought, try a spam filter - have a look on download.com, there are some there.
Forget using your ISP's email systems. They're all, without exception, not very good.

Sign up to Gmail at gmail.com.

It's free, and you get the best spam protection possible.
