O2 Broadband delays with outgoing mail

Has anyone else experienced this - since Monday some eMails have taken from 1.5 hours to 2.5 days to arrive. Spoke to O2 just now and they admitted a problem with a server was delaying some mail but thought it had now been rectified.

    Just found out from O2you wil be affected if you are sending eMail through a 3rd party address using relay.o2broadband.co.uk as your outgoing server. This is because spammers have screwed it up - situation now does seem to be improving.

    I did use relay.o2broadband.co.uk , but now use my log on details using SSL to send mail.
