Also, if you upgrade the mail server you are using, you may run into the situation that this could be taken into consideration automatically at that level.

I use btinternet for my mail and subscribe to their spam and virus blocking service. This work very well and has reduced all the c__p I used to get to a trickle. I wonder if this sort of service means that if a virus should get through and damage my setup I would have a claim against them for failing to block it.
