Failure to rectify the situation and also explain the problem to its users would also result in a fairly large drop in its user base in pretty short order too I would think.

Thats true m8 - he would pick up on it. BUT
1. We are talking about NTL mail admins - Doesn't inspire confidence when they cant even get the mail servers to run correctly.
2. The original email that was sent is still not going to arive at the correct destination. The admin would have to re-send every mail and change the from/to header. Even with only 100 mails this is a huge task. So the mail has gone and the sender will have to re-send, if he remembers to do this then fine but by this time a minimum of 24 hours will have passed and if the mail was urgent its pretty useless by then !!
