Hmm, I run my mail using the same setup; I send outgoing mail via a
local running sendmail and then to NTL's mailserver(s) though - the NTL
server's a smart relay host in my local sendmail config.

*very* occasionally I'll find I can't mail someone because their ISP
detects that the mail originated from a machine within a dynamic address
range, but by very occasionally I mean once every 6 months or so. And
that's me sending out from here anyway, not receiving.

I've never seen this problem before though; I rather suspect it was just
NTL's systems having a total spaz. If I remember (or prod me!) I'll see
you a test msg tomorrow and see if that goes through...

FWIW, yahoo's junk filter is flagging your messages as spam, so it
thinks something is up too (unfortunately it isn't useful enough to tell
me *why* it thinks it's spam)

cheers
