Email Error & Opera?
 

I am using Opera now because it has it's own Address book. So I use Outlook for Family stuff & Opera for Work...

I have had it about 2-3 months & all is ok.

Now I get this error... I cant remember changing any of the settings :p:

****@ntlworld.com
Temporary server error [452 Filesystem error - message not accepted]

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

According to this site, this is the problem:

There is something wrong with the SmtpMail.SmtpServer. Typically the disk is full, or the mail store is full, and it can't accept any more email at this time.

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

That is a storage error on the ntl smtp server which only ntl can fix - have you reported it to them ?

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

No I had NOT reported it as I was unsure if it was Error or NTL :dunce:

Hope it gets fixed soon :p:

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

Yeah I'm having the same problem (Outlook Express though) - nearly 24 hours and ntl still hasn't fixed it? Their status page says it's intermittent but I've tried to send an email several times today and it's failed with the same error each time.

:mad: :td:

NTL webmail problems
 

I'm getting the following message when trying to reply to a webmail message :
"The SMTP server had insufficient storage for the message: 452 Filesystem error - message not accepted".

:dozey: WTF is wrong NOW???

Anyone know, I need to reply to this mail from work and cant :(

Re: NTL webmail problems
 

Ntl are having technical problems. Being discussed here:

smtp.ntlworld.com down ?
 

Anyone else seeing problems sending mail - I'm getting frequent "452 Filesystem error - message not accepted" errors since yesterday. (IG10 area)

Re: NTL webmail problems
 

I have had intermittent problems this morning. I'll try again tonight. :D

Re: smtp.ntlworld.com down ?
 

It is happening everywhere. Check this thread:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=14664

:)

Re: smtp.ntlworld.com down ?
 

Are you using norton?

I was having errors this morning until I disabled norton, seems to be ok now :)

Re: smtp.ntlworld.com down ?
 

It's nothing to do with your anti-virus software.

Re: smtp.ntlworld.com down ?
 

I thought it was as the error was coming from nortons software, but your right it has started again now even with norton off :/

looks like im changing my smtp server to my own domain then :)

Re: smtp.ntlworld.com down ?
 

I was saying that because I'm using AVG and got the same error message. :D

Re: smtp.ntlworld.com down ?
 

Right,

If thats the case... does anyone have any "tips" on managing to change the smtp server, maybe to one that allows relaying?

I have accounts with different providers, but because I'm on ntl broadband, have to use their smtp server. I'm a bit miffed because I've got a college assignment to email in that should have been in last week.

Am I going to have to attempt to use a dialup account?

I thought ntl had a super-duper email system now that they "upgraded" it??!!!

Re: smtp.ntlworld.com down ?
 

Do you have a yahoo account that you could send the assignment through? As they now allow 10Mb attachments.

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

Probably they are freeing up diskspace and its getting used up as quick as they are freeing it? :D

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

I've been getting the same message and outlook tells me the messages haven't gone but my emails are getting through - I sent one eight times before I realised!
This is all very confusing and I hope ntl get it sorted soon

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

Because it is an intermittent problem.

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

Intermittent it may be but it leaves the mail in the outbox every time leading you to think it hasn't gone when it has.

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

New Message NOW!!!

****@ntlworld.com
Sending e-mail failed. Maybe the SMTP server is not set up properly? E-mail queued.

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

maybe if they had anti-spam and av software then half the mails NTL get could be deleted and we wouldn't be in this mess

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

It's even worse than that SOME emails are getting through, and SOME are not. I've had to start BCCing myself to find out which.

Anyone know where I can buy a carrier pigeon cheap?! :(

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

AFAIK, "the smtp server" is actually a collection of servers so I would guess that only one is broken, therefore the fault is intermittant depending on which one you get. Of course, this may be wrong, because if it were true then you might wonder why the duffer is still in service .... :erm:

Edit: I have merged the three topic on this that I could find.

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

I'm getting multiple copies of the same e mail (i.e. 15 copies of the same thing, all timed slightly differently). Is this connected with the 452 File System Error or something else? The same number of copies are also being forwarded to my Yahoo account.

Re: Email Error & Opera?
 

Would any from Trafalgar Square do? :D

Solution for Mac Users
 

Mac OS X has its own smtp server built-in, but it is turned off by default.

Users on version 10.2 ("Jaguar") or earlier need to download a utility called Sendmail Enabler; users on 10.3 ("Panther") need Postfix Enabler.

Once you've set-up Sendmail or Postfix and enabled it you can send mail directly from your own machine to the recipient without going via NTL's mail servers. It takes about 2 minutes to do the download, config and set-up, so it's well worth the effort.

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

There is a freeware SMTP server from www.softstack.com which runs on your PC, which can be used to bypass the flaky NTL one. Seems to work OK as far as I can see.

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

Thanks for that I'll check it out when I get home. :)

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

I have been getting the 452 error from Norton IS all day but a couple of hours ago, I was assured by the ntl support desk that the error was erroneous and, sure enough, the e-mails have been gettimng through.

Email sending problems
 

I have been receiving emails but any I send, with Outlook Express are rejected. The recipeints say they do receive the emails! Even if I try to use the web interface it tell me the server is out of filespace!
Surprised not to see any other similar user problems here.
I have checked with a colleague who also has NTL and he sees the same problem.

Re: Email sending problems
 

*Sigh*....

Good old ntl e-mail. :angel:

Re: Email sending problems
 

Nooooo Ntl and email server problems? Surely you jest sir?
Welcome to the wonderful world of NTL email Fred ;) Can I interest you in a hotmail account? :p:

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

I got a reply to one that had been 452'd - I don't know how many times it tried to send it though, and how many duplicates that produced.


Since the send is not counted as successful, it stays in your email client's outbox - and especially if you were to leave it running on a 15 minute retry interval or less, that could be embarrassing!

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

I think incoming mails are being deleted, too.

I checked mail from work today, and a couple of mails were there I wanted, but now using Outlook from home, if I ever get anything back (ie not timeing out), they have gone.

This isn't a 452, I know, but it's worse, almost. Even going through the web GUI, and telnet, they no longer exist.

This is bad.

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

Hi Baconsarnie,

What is the result when you IMAP the account.

Create an a new mail account in outlook express (or whichever mail client you use) and use IMAP instead of POP3 by choosing incoming mail server as imap.ntlworld.com

:D

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

carlingman,
the imap account looks as though it's setup OK, and I when I sent myself a test mail, I can see it OK in the inbox. Header only at first, IIRR, then I clicked on the inbox again, and the mail itself showed up.

I have also had mail since the disappeared ones, so it looks like when yesterday's problems were being fixed, some stuff got lost.

I tried a telnet, too, and that shows the same, just my test mail, and not the missing ones.

Cheers.

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

Set the "reply-to" email address to a new email address provider, that you have set up.

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

I would seriously quesion why you are running a business using a residential ISP and mail service. If you use e-mail for your business then you should realy pay for a proper e-mail service.

Re: [merged] NTL SMTP : 452 File System Error
 

I agree 100%.
