I've not upgraded to 4.3 yet, but assuming it's the same as 4.2 this is
a very simple setting in the web console. Go to SMTP mail under Software
and enter smtp.ntlworld.com in the Outbound Relay Hosts field. That's
all there is to it.

Your CC box will send mail without doing this but you'll run into
problems with spam detection as many servers bounce mail from public IPs.

Personally, I'd use IMAP, otherwise you may as well just use the NTL
servers.
