Generally speaking, a 421 error means too many users are trying to connect/pass through/access at once. (I think it can also mean a time-out in some instances). The: mailgate02.barclays.co.uk part simply refers to the server you're trying to reach/use.

Telnet produces this error imediatly, and it will do it not matter which of the pool of barclays servers responds. They don't have problems from any other company just us. I can telnet to it fine if I use a dial up connection.

When you dial up I assume you are bypassing your companies firewall, would check that this is not blocking telnet to the barclays server.

If it doesn't leak oil it must be empty!!

Then...sounds like configuration problems at one end or the other, I'd start at your company's ISP.

Yeah a dial up does bypass the firewall. I've been through all the firewall settings and there isn't a sausage in there that would get in the way. We don't have any problems with any other companies, just barclays

get barclays to check that their firewall isn't blocking your company.
