Further testing of this issue this morning reveals the following.
I have reset my hub numerous times to get different ip addresses. Every one has been blacklisted on at least two and sometimes four antispam services. I note that SPAMHAUS say this does not stop emails being sent.
The only email addresses that my emails are being bounced by other contacts with btinternet email addresses. So it would seem only BT are blocking emails flagged as from their own blocklisted ip addresses.
How daft is that!
This is not daft, this is by design. ALL of BTinternet ISP dynamic IP addresses - the ones that end users have - are blocklisted. This is to prevent spam by infection of the end user equipment. In the "olden days", viruses set up their own sending engine using the IP address of the user to send spam emails. That doesn't really happen anymore, but the IP addresses are still blocked for this reason. What should NOT be blocked is the BTinternet email server addresses - in other words people sending emails via webmail and clients using those server addresses, in this case mail.btinternet.com
Sometimes the recipient doesn't like certain ISPs - and can block them willy nilly, which is their choice.
You said that you can only email people with btinternet email address, so are you saying that emailing anyone or any other company always fails? If so - has this always been the case, or has this just started?
