Email interchange is currently unregulated - so any provider can shut down whatever connections they like. At first I thought that a large provider could abuse its market position by making life difficult for smaller providers. But NTL seems to be blocking so many connections that it will only damage itself by offering poor service to its users.
You have been sent the standard reply by NTL. Try being persistent and insist on speaking to a supervisor - try late evening. Best of all find the server returning the mail and quote the number to NTL.
