Some emails get through to me (Windows ME and Outlook Express 6), but others,
including those from ebay, do not. I suspect my system is blocking them
somehow, but I do not have a firewall as such, just Lavasoft Adaware anti
Spam, and a reputable anti virus setup. My ISP sent me a test email that got
through straight away, so I can't blame them!

A firewall could only block email if it was configured to block the sending
server, anyway. Most people using personal firewall software do not do that.
How does that Lavasoft AS software work?

Has anyone any clues as to how i unravel this as it has got me beat
(I think I'm in the right forum, but apologise if not..its my first post on
this forum)

It might be a tough one. Unless you have an email account with another
provider, you won't have a good view of what is happening with the email you
aren't getting. Even if you do have such an account, it might not be
affected as the eBay email is. Unless somebody at eBay is willing to look
through their logs for bounces.

As good a group as any, I suppose; but there is also a
"microsoft.public.internet.mail" group.
