Jon makes a vital point here, if you are going to set up your own email server, make sure your SMTP server points to smtp.ntlworld.com. Because you are on a DHCP assigned IP address, the MX record for your IP range points to ntl's official email servers, any other mail server will be bounced, as most ISP's use RBL's (Real Time Black lists) that check to make sure the IP address sending the email is sending it through its official MX (Mail Transfer) service.
