Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
A few posts ago I reported a 3.5 day delay in getting an email from my NTL home account at work. I posted some of the headers to prove the point. PEM amongst others said this could be due to a retry between NTL servers and Messagelabs (whom my work uses for mail scanning). Subsequently 2 or 3 others in this thread and others in the smtp thread reported big delays over last weekend seeming to put the problem back in NTL's court.
Lo and behold this morning I get the same email AGAIN, this time delayed by over 1 week. Strangely there is one digit different in the message ID, although the times are the same (see below). The email seems to have routed via a different NTL queue server.
Can someone explain this please?

Nope - I could guess or speculate, but that's all it would be.

Snail mail or a pideon would have been faster!!
APS, you're not the only one who has been getting this problem with email taking days to arrive.
I regularly send stuff between college and home via email and I always have found that ntl mail either loses it completely (ie. mail disappears into the abyss) or causes it to be delayed by days, which in my view is not acceptable as I rely on it to get files from A to B - it is no use having some work arrive after the day it was due in which has happened many a time...
Here is an DSN from an email I sent earlier this week to someone in college...
It took nearly 2 days to arrive! A carrier pidgeon could have got it there faster!

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
I don't know what NTL have done, but my email has been flying for the past few days. If it gets any faster I will be getting emails before they are sent. Well done NTL, keep it up.

Re: [Merged] smtp.ntlworld.com problems?
There is an alternative - a while ago I found a utility to run a local SMTP server on your PC - advantage is that you aren't reliant on NTL's, disadvantage is that if the recipient's POP server is not accessible, it won't auto-retry like an ISPs SMTP server will. I can't remember what the one I tried was called, but there is more than one out there.

working fine for me at the moment. can you ping the smtp server?
start-> run -> cmd(on 2k/xp or command on 98/me) -> ping smtp.ntlworld.com
also check you have no firewall software blocking connections on port 25.

Re: Ntl Email = Full?
I had that as well once today - maybe to do with the 'messages taking ages to deliver/disappearing' issue - it's having problems sending and runs out of space with the backlog...?

Re: [Merged] smtp.ntlworld.com problems?
Are the POP servers on the blink . Yesterday, and again a few minutes ago mail was very slow to send or gave up with an error message. Also someone I e-mailed yesterday has now had 3 copies of the same message.
