Most ISPs restrict access to their smtp servers to customers who are using their service to connect - AFAIK this is to prevent relaying of spam.

The simple way around this, if you only want to use a single email account, is to set the email program to receive mail sent to your ntl account using the ntl pop server but send mail using the Plusnet smtp server. You can also specify in the email program your "reply to" address as the ntl email account.
