Is this to do with the general packet loss?

me too, but only on one account, I have two accounts with ntl, & the 'other' one is fine?

- the 'service status' page has been up & down a bit again, as well. - but maybe the work, it reports, tonight, will sort a few problems.

Mine is ok now. Just got rid of all my spam!

My mail server collects the mail from the pop boxes I have on ntl every so often the amount of errors I get like below are amazing....

mail_pop3c.cpp: PASS command failed: -ERR mail storage services unavailable, wait a few minutes and try again.

I'll bet you would!

How many times can ntl apologise for this poor excuse of an email 'service'?

Yeah right.

I'll believe that when I see it. The last few days have been pretty rotten as far as email goes. Lets see how long the resolved issue lasts.

Reddevil63 · 14-01-2004, 14:01

The server status page has been updated.

What a joke!!!

Mr.Moony · 14-01-2004, 14:06

They have now announced more email problems. Ohh the pain of it all. Ohh and the joy of not teching email for a few hours

Mr Moony-are you not ashamed to work for a company as downright incompetent as this?

They are way beyond a joke now, if I had the time, I would trawl back through their server status page just to see how many times email had been on there (that's on top of the times that there was a problem but they never bothered to put anything up about it)

It seems a lot of you are experiencing problems that are causing a fair bit of stress. If that was me I'd be on the phone to CS saying that I have had no of little access to email and I want a refund - its been a recurrent fault and is not acceptable.

I'm sure after ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£x thousands they would decide to get it sorted once and for all. The servers are clearly running at capicity.

Does anyone know how much hardware is needed to run x amount of email accounts as a rule of thumb?

No. but always dissapointed that some1 who has been my site admin for over 6 months still cant spell my name. (thats including .com and .co.uk - if you are that neil....even if your not)

zoombini · 14-01-2004, 14:31

Apparently someone in Accounts wanted to do some proper sums so used the calculator thats in the corner, unfortunately this is also used for the email server so no wonder it was slow...

My bad, spelling corrected (Yes I am the same Neil)

I can't believe you're not ashamed/embarassed to work for an ISP that can't even supply a reliable email service tho?
