What's your explanation for what happened to those messages? That all their various servers are simultaneously having problems, coincidentally at the same as ntlworld's losing incoming mail? "Know" in this case means be certain beyond reasonable doubt. What reasonable scenario are you suggesting that doesn't involve NTL being at fault?

The basis of my doubts are this:-
Only you seem to be affected by this
EDIT noted greencreeper is also affected seemingly
Due to the nature of transmitting emails it is highly possible that Other (i.e other ISP's) mail server can delay or fail to send an email.
If the mail reaches an exchange server and is "readable" then to the best of my knowledge it will be delivered either immediatly or whenever the server is back up and running. If it is sent when the server is down it would be bounced to sender as recipient unreachable. So basically they would turn up.
I know NTL are having major problems with their email but I have yet to lose an email that I am, aware of, and I receive a lot of emails.
From my point of view unless someone is manually deleting emails form your specific MS exchange server at NTL then its highly unlikely that NTL are at fault.
However I *could* be wrong.
If you still feel it is NTL's fault, report it to them via the help desk. Or perhaps if someon here is able to check it out they may.
