I have just been informed, on good authority, that the problem with the email servers was caused when the resident hamster was taken out for a breath of fresh air. NTL have to do this quite often because the hamsters become lethargic due to the smell of bullsh*t that is common in NTL premises. Unfortunately the email servers had been relocated to India and were in the same building as the NTL call centre. One of the call centre elephants which were there because someone at NTL had decided that they needed elephants in order to make trunk calls hadn't noticed the hamster and had trod on it meaning a long outage whilst they find a replacement.
