Yes - thank you for checking. That has been double-checked and lines up correctly. They can even send to Google / Gmail with no complaints

    Hello list. In the last few days Virgin Media in UK
    (@virginmedia.com <http://virginmedia.com>,
    @ntlworld.com <http://ntlworld.com>) have started to bounce emails
    from one of the domains I
    manage. There isn't a lot to go on - as being a 550 message, there
    isn't
    any info about being blacklisted or similar. I am working on the
    assumption that they have some sort of spam filtering in place, and
    this
    domain or its IP address might have been blacklisted somewhere. The
    domain name is @originprobate.com <http://originprobate.com> and it
    is a really low email volume
    domain, with no marketing or similar activities. I checked at MX
    Toolbox
    both the domain name and the MX IP address (which is used by a few
    other
    domains I manage) and both come back clean. The other domains haven't
    experienced any issues yet, so it seems the IP of the MX is clean.
    There
    hasn't been any recent change in settings at our end that I can
    think of.

    I've searched online but can't find if Virgin Media UK has some sort of
    form to fill in or contact details to check if a domain is blacklisted
    with them, or to submit an application to remove from such a blacklist,
    if one exists.

    Does anyone here have experience of dealing with Virgina Media UK or
    some insight as to what their approach is? I would think it is a poor
    idea to reply with "550 - Mailbox unavailable" when rejecting suspected
    spam, instead of some appropriate message - but different
    administrators
    seem to have different views on how email should work. Such is life.

    Any suggestions to move this further are much appreciated.
