Thank you for taking the time to reply. The two destination email addresses
- one @virginmedia.com and the other @ntlworld.com are people the sender is
usually corresponding with. The sender and recipients have been talking to
each other on the phone and trying to figure out why they can't email each
other any more - and then they contacted me.
So valid, existing addresses all around, then?
In that case, it sounds like whoever minds the domains you mention would have
some
explaining to do.
Unfortunately Virgin Media is a large internet provider. The chances of
getting some explanation from them are pretty slim. That's why I was
wondering if someone here has dealt with them or their email setup and
has some insight into how to proceed further.
It could be that they have joined the school of thought that considers any
low volume sender domain part of the discardable background noise or that
they have signed up for a service that operates on that principle.
The strange thing is that I sent a test email from my address, which has
gone through. My address is on a low volume domain as well - so the
mystery continues.
