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.

For your explanation to be correct, various (not one) ISP's mailservers would have to be suffering problems simultaneously. Which coincidentally only affected messages from an ntlworld account, and none from the yahoo address I also use, and occured at a time when ntl is known to be losing incoming mail. Also, please note that Graham, above, reports similar problems, not just greenkeeper.
I can see no reasonable probability that this is not ntl's fault. And the fact that it doesn't apply to all or even most email and some or even most people may be unaffected does not make it less likely that the problem exists.
As regards the help desk, why do you assume I haven't reported it to them?
