Wrong.
There is an issue in particular with NTL which is causing havoc.
The root cause is spam, and many ISPs inept efforts at pre-filtering.
I remember chaos at Demon a few years ago, when someone decided to put
them on a blacklist because one of their customers had an open relay.
My ISP does absolutely nothing other than spend £100,00 plus to cope
with the spam traffic. That is fine by me - I would rather be in
control of my own filters.
One of my contacts using freeserve,co,uk is having terrible trouble.
Approximately 50% of her emails get filtered out somewhere in transit.
The garden is _not_ rosy.
