I did a telnet and connect OK (AFAIK) got a message "220 smarthost4.mail.uk.easynet.net ESMTP Exim 4.10 Fri, 19 Nov 2004 17:44:27 +0000" after typing telnet mailhost.pavilion.co.uk 25

Thanks for your prompt replies, any other ideas, or do any one know what Ntl have been doing with their mail servers, have they changed a setting for relaying as they are trying to cut out spamming?
this is not caused by ntl. the blocking is being done by pavilion. if you wish to send mail then you need to specify smtp.ntlworld.com.
