I am also having problems with mail to my ntl account.
In my case it is the spamcop blocklist which is listing two IP's at Manchester University. Ntl wont own up to using the SCBL but when the block delists in comes my missing mail.
So yes Ntl you are using it !! and in the process causing havoc with legitimate mail.
I would like to speak to someone just once at Ntl that has a clue what I am trying to get over to them, and get them to read the recomendations on the spamcop site in relation to the use of the SCBL

Anyone from NTL reading this,
quote from spamcop,
Implement the SCBL to Filter Spam
The SCBL aims to stop most spam while not blocking wanted email. This is a difficult task. It is not possible for any blocking tool to avoid blocking wanted mail entirely. Given the power of the SCBL, SpamCop encourages use of the SCBL in concert with an actively maintained whitelist of wanted email senders. SpamCop encourages SCBL users to tag and divert email, rather than block it outright. Most SCBL users consider the amount of unwanted email successfully filtered to make the risks and additional efforts worthwhile.
