 Demon Internet's opinion
In this submission Demon saw that TTPs might have a "useful role" to play in facilitating secure electronic commerce, but the bulk of the comments made were to reject the proposal for key escrow.
Demon argued that it would damage confidence in the TTPs the security of the TTPs would always be suspect the cost of attempting to provide that security would have to be paid by the users of the TTP.
To allow Demon's customers and others to weigh the fairness of the DTI summary, and the good sense of any new proposals, Demon are now making their comments public for the first time.

 jongrieve.net > FAQs, Tips & Tricks > Configuring Microsoft Exchange Server for Demon Internet
When you dial your Demon account, your modem will connect to one of the many modems at Demon and your machine will log in to the Demon network (using the nodename and password).
In this type of configuration (I believe Demon call this package something like Network Dial?), generally the router will be the device that aquires the IP address allocated to you by Demon.
Of course, the router is not a mail server and has not opened this port ready to receive the mail so the delivery from Demon fails (and their servers continue to simply 'sit on' the messages) and re-deliver it each time you connect.
