Queued then flushed sucessfully. Get onto the admins of smtp.ntlworld.com - 
that's where your message is going via (ISP?) ... it's leaving your box 
without a problem...en route it gets lost.

I gave up using ISP mail servers some time ago - okay, at times it means it 
can take mail longer to arrive at a destination if I'm logged off for some 
time :) but at least that way I know where mail is going, and have a nice log 
I can then use to moan at people with (eg, my ISP who keep f***ing the mail 
servers up - which is no problem unless I'm trying to mail the support desk 
or someone else on the same ISP).
