I noticed a delay on outgoing emails yesterday and rang our ISP - they said there had been a problem earlier but it was fixed, and that there might be a backlog.
Emails were taking up to 2 hours to arrive. Other offices using the same ISP had similar problems.
This morning, and I'm still getting delays - 1-2 hours still. Offices on different ISPs seem to be able to get mail to my BT webmail, but it's still taking 10 mins or more.
A test mail sent from my BT webmail to my work email has still not arrived after an hour.
Is there some heavy UK-wide hardware stuff going down, or am I going mental? My ISP say it's not their fault, and are starting to get shirty!
