Hi All I went through the spam route with NTL and I now have enough of those Niagra pills to last me til Jan 9th. Here is an extract of a NTL email about server blacklists, hopefully somebody understands it enough to get it sorted out. To get this message out of NTL required me to obtain the IP address of the message I couldn't receive!!! cheers Bob Phillips EXTRACT >Thanks for your email > >The hotmail email servers which have attempted to >deliver the email to you are on commercial blacklists that are employed by >ntl to reduce spam, you will need to contact hotmail directly for your ip address to be removed >ntl cannot remove your ip address from the black list.
