Missing e mails

bertJ · 06-01-2004, 10:35

As well as the normal ntl e mail setup I have forwarding enabled to a Yahoo Mail account to provide a backup for the ntl mail boxes. In the last week I've been getting e mails in the Yahoo account that haven't appeared in my ntl mail boxes at all. They haven't appeared on ntl web mail either. I seem to be getting some e mails and not others with no discernible pattern.
I checked with ntl BB technical and they can find no trace of the missing e mails. The only suggestion is that the ntl servers may have treated the missing e mails as spam and deleted them. However the missing e mails were a mixture of private and commercial and certainly not spam.
I would appreciate any help/suggestions/comments on this problem. Thanks in advance.

Did Tech Support suggest this to you?

Since when did ntl have spam filtering software on their mail servers?

Is that a 100% confirmed fact that ntl now use spam software on the mail servers?

Can anyone else from ntl please confirm/deny this?
