This issue was raised by some of my IT colleagues at work today. I believe it is around how ISP's deliver to each others systems. Something has been altered in the chain which affects how NTL users are configured to receive ... leading to rejection rather than acceptance. It is not NTL's fault, as such, it seems. If I can find out more during the week I will post this group with the details. -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
