Virgin Media blocking email from outlook.com

All emails from our club email account (outlook online) are  being refused by Virgin media for any blueyonder.co.uk email addresses:

There's more header information available - I just put the first few lines to show the source.

This has been going on for a week now, and is becoming seriously problematic. It appears to be a virgin media configuration problem.

Can anyone in virgin media resolve this please?

    Same problem here too. Sending from btconnect.com to ntlworld.com. Have there been any resolution?

      Hi marcanda 

      Thanks for posting and welcome back to the community. Sorry to hear you're experiencing email issues. Can you confirm are you getting any error messages when trying to send an email? Does the email contain any links and if so, have you tried sending without?

      Best,

        Hope that helps 

  • Hey qwertyuiop2, thank you for reaching out and we are sorry to hear about your email issues.

    When you say they are being refused, are you trying to send from the virgin side or are revive these? 

    Are you getting this error message when sending or trying to get the email?

      As I said, Virgin media is refusing to accept email from Outlook online.

      That means that messages TO blueyonder addresses sent FROM Outlook online are not getting through to the blueyonder mailboxes.

      The Undeliverable message quoted above is returned.

        Is this only happening on Outlook you are finding?

        For example Gmail, icloud emails they work okay?
