I have also been having problems with emails from Hotmail users not arriving in my Ntlworld inbox. In order to try and see where the problem is (e.g. Hotmail or Ntlworld), I set up my own Hotmail email account and ran some tests. I sent six test emails from Hotmail to my Ntlworld email account and also six to another account I have on Hemscott. All 6 emails from Hotmail arrived in my Hemscott account immediately, but only 1 made it to Ntlworld.
After a day or so, I received a message from the Postmaster at Hotmail for the 5 failed emails to Ntlworld with subject 'Delivery Status Notification (Failure)' and the following message ... "This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. Unable to deliver message to the following recipients, due to being unable to connect successfully to the destination mail server.".
There does appear to be some sort of problem between Hotmail servers and the Ntlworld email servers. It only appears to affect emails from Hotmail because none of my other (non-Hotmail) friends have reported any problems.
I would be interested to hear if any other Ntlworld email users are having problems receiving emails from Hotmail ?
