You should talk to your ISP.  First of all, they should not have
introduced spam filtering without telling their customers first.
Secondly, you should ask if they are able to turn off filtering on
your account so you can do it yourself.

My own ISP has recently announced plans to start filtering mail at
some point early next year.  Their plan is to filter mail by default,
but to allow subscribers to opt-out.  Their web interface is already
set up to allow opt-out (even before they've introduced the service)
and I've chosen to do so (not least because I want a complete set of
spam for my contributions to SA's mass-checks).
