Apparently email sent to a BT or Yahoo email address is automatically rejected by the relevant servers and placed on a "grey list". If a second attempt is made later the email is accepted. This apparently helps to reduce spam. Details are at http://bit.ly/1lGkeqb
Isn't it wonderful what you can find out through Google?

@Anonymous I think perhaps the report relates to email between BT email and Yahoo email accounts?

Tried by sending an e mail to a friends bt yahoo e mail address and it was just as fast.
Im wondering if the switching from yahoo mail to bt mail is having an effect on some.

@Anonymous... Now I find that amusing. (the Doctor of Drivel title):happy-smiley58:
Seriously though, I haven't noticed anything like that. I have two email accounts (3 if you count a well
underused hotmail account). Of the other two, one is Incredimail (linked to my BT address) and the other is BT
yahoo mail obviously linked to my BT address.
I use the Incredimail one here in the UK (I like the pretty pictures and emoticons)..in Spain its just plain ole
BT yahoo. If I timed them..the Yahoo mail always arrives faster?
So now Dr Drivel...what do you think of that conundrum? :smileywink:
