Further to my message today, I too was fobbed off, but by BT.,and was directed by them to a Spam Filter list. On there I found a number of messages from my legitimate contacts and was able to retrieve them. However, I am aware of many more missing incoming and outgoing emails. I too am informed by my contacts that some of their messages to me are being returned to them, undelivered.

I am using Outlook Express.

Like you, this all goes straight over my head - I just want to use a reliable email service!

Bruce.

I'm with NTL and use Outlook Express. The only problem that I know of, but
there may well be others, was receiving mail from Virgin. When I contacted
NTL they fobbed me off with spam filtering, but this was obviously not the
explanation as some mail was being returned undelivered. This is a bit over
my head but the most likely explanation I found was that some mail servers
are being blacklisted for excessive distribution of spam and it then becomes
a hit and miss affair of a 'clear' server being used each time it is
re-issued. It would also tend to overload that system by putting the extra
burden on the servers.

Regards,
Colin
