And accessible. For some reason that the NTL denies all knowlege of, I cannot access the NTL status page (along with www.ntl.co.uk) from my home cable modem, although I can access it fine from my work computer. Mind you, they denied all knowledge of the email problems over the past couple of weeks too, and I still have some test messages that haven't emerged from their outgoing server yet.

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

Just got back from a weekend away; downloading my e-mail (99.5% Spam probably!) status bar in Outlook says:

"receiving 13 of 578 - time remaining 37 hours"

mmmmmmmmmm.........

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

e mail dead again tonight, as usual no mention on status page or status line.

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

look sas though they have fallen over again , asking repeatedly for password :(

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

When it did eventually finish (lunchtime today!!) it recorded errors?? (Oh and yes, I was right 99.5% Spam - some going back to last Thursday, even though I went through this last Thursday evening(?))

From lunchtime to this evening, it was reading x of 241 - time remaining 41 hours. (those that it did download were, as before, dated for last Thursday(?)

It now reads 1 of 208, but no estimate of time.....

What I have noticed is that when telling Norton AntiSpam that it let Spam through, I get a pop up box that tells me that a programme is trying to access my Outlook address book and do i want it to, as it could be a virus (of course I say no).
My Norton AV is up to date, I did a full scan last night and just finished running Spybot - no threats found in either case. I have not opened any e-mail or attachments that I am not expecting. As well as Norton Security 2004, Spybot and the XP firewall, I have a firewall in the router. Have I been got at? Anyone with any clues?

SMTP Down?
 

I've sent several emails this afternoon and they have not been delivered. If I send them via another service (not smtp.ntlworld.com) then they get delivered ok. Anyone know of any problems causing this?
Outlook XP reports this:
http://willcurrie.com/smtp.gif
The email seems to get sent but not delivered.

smtp.ntlworld.com losing emails..?
 

Anyone else seen smtp.ntlworld.com not sending mails recently? I've had at least 2 emails disappear in the last couple of days with no error or bounce messages..

Re: smtp.ntlworld.com losing emails..?
 

They will turn up over the next day or so, if the system runs to form.
I have been getting delayed messages for the last few days.

If they don't arrive, ring them up on Monday to complain.

Re: smtp.ntlworld.com losing emails..?
 

Not sure about "lost" emails, but the SMTP server has been slooooowww for about a week. Some days it's been taking ages to actually send something.

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

I posted on this before - see below evidence of NTL mailservers holding onto mail for over 3 days! Can anyone suggest where I can send this to, such that someone in the know might use the evidence to hunt down the problem and fix it once and for all.
