Bigpond outgoing mail

BigPond was a popular internet service provider in Australia, but it's no longer available as a standalone service. However, I can provide some general information on outgoing mail settings for BigPond email accounts.

Outgoing Mail Settings for BigPond Email Accounts:

Before we dive into the settings, please note that BigPond email accounts are now managed by Telstra, and the settings may have changed since the service was discontinued.

SMTP Server:

• Server: mail.telstra.com
• Port: 587 (TLS) or 25 (unencrypted)

Username and Password:

• Use your BigPond email address as the username.
• Use your BigPond email password.

Authentication:

• Authentication is required. You can use either Plain Text or CRAM-MD5 authentication.

Additional Settings:

• If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to configure the outgoing mail server to use the Telstra SMTP server.
• If you're experiencing issues with sending emails, try checking your email account settings, password, or contact Telstra's customer support for assistance.

Important Note:

As BigPond is no longer a standalone service, you may need to update your email account settings or contact Telstra's customer support to ensure you can continue sending and receiving emails.
