Ian,
I had a similar problem with GoDaddy domain, web and mail hosting services. They started using crowd-sourced blackholing services, so anytime that service tagged something as spam, it got round-holed with no recourse. Emails from Groups.io started bouncing off of my GoDaddy service, which caused Groups.io to shut down all forwarded email from my group emails due to excessive bounces. GoDaddy support insisted they needed the logs from Groups.io to help me, and since I wasn't a paying member of Groups.io, I could not get any support from them whatsoever.
When GoDaddy announced they were moving all their webmail accounts to Microsoft Exchange, that was the last straw. I moved my domain, web, and email hosting to QTH.com, where I have complete control over the block/allow listing for my email account(s), and a very responsive technical support staff if I have any issues or questions.
Good luck in sorting all your email issues out. I hope you finally end up with a much better solution than you are currently struggling with.
73,

Cheers Andy,
I have been contemplating switching and most probably will, mainly due to the cost, but the problems spent sorting today is the final nail in the coffin. At least I have the e-mail problem sorted thanks to Milos.

Virgin Media's email has been sh**e for years and years. I gave up using them for anything important in 2015 after they started dropping email for me they thought was spam. They didn't mark it as spam and let me see, no they accepted it from the sender and then dropped without delivery.
As I am one of the people who run the SOTA IT system we have had never ending issues with Virgin doing that to people's registration mails or password recovery mails.
I believe that Virgin no longer offers email to new subscribers, only existing users get the service now. They are slowly running the service down.
I voted with my feet in 2015 and use an email service provided by a web host I have been using since 2006, a hotmail.com and a gmail.com address. I still have my Virgin email mailboxes but the only thing that I can guarantee you will receive in your Virgin inbox is the monthly (and ever increasing) bill!
My street has Virgin cable and VDSL from OpenReach. Fibre to the premises from OpenReach and also CityFibre is being installed, it's in the main road but not yet in my road. A work mate who lives nearby was offered a symmetrical 1GBPS service for 50% of the cost of Virgin's 40/400MBPS service, took 48hrs to be installed and go live. Virgin's days are numbered with me.
So yes you can forward from a gmail.com to your Virgin address but I would *strongly* suggest you dump them ASAP and start moving your accounts using Virgin address to your own . I bought my own domain and that has email forwarding. That means I'm in control. Important stuff like banking goes to that and groups.io and such goes to hotmail/gmail.

Hello Milos
Thanks for that, yes it sounds like a good way around it.
It will save me having to set up 30+ new Message Rules in my OE Classic e-mail App.
Cheers

Hi,
I had a similar problem when I used my e-mail milos.soukup@...
<mailto:milos.soukup@...>.
I received and not received the e-mails from io groups in vawes.
I discussed it with the provider and they asked for the logs from
the sender side I did not know how to get.
I replaced my e-mail by milos02.soukup@...
<mailto:milos02.soukup@gmail> and the problem has been gone.
I defined a rule in my gmail account for forwarding the e-mails from
io to my previous e-mail.
I receive them in the vawes ...
