Hi all

Is anyone else who is using Virgin having problems sending emails today (and
yesterday).
I have set Outlook to timeout after 3 minutes but it still rarely sends
(using mail.virgin.net)
Occasionally the mail will send.
I have emailed virgin, but no response yet.

Cheers

Darren

I've got a couple of E-Mail accounts with them, that Outlock polls every
30 mins. It has been getting stuck on the Virgin accounts this afternoon, and last night.

hours ago.

Maybe all the ISPs have finally implemented an anti-SWEN solution. I was
getting about 40 SWEN related emails an hour, every hour since the outbreak
began. This started slowing over the weekend and today I only had half a
dozen since midnight, five of them up until 08:00 and only one more at 13:28
or something. Nothing since.

I've not written any emails today but am picking up many from Freeserve, BT
Openworld, Tesco and Hotmail. Actually, now I think about it Hotmail has had
a few more SWENs today but that's my sacrificial email account and not a
concern. My regular email account has been SWEN-free :-)
