Bigpond outgoing mail port
A blast from the past!
BigPond was a popular internet service provider (ISP) in Australia, but it's no longer in operation. However, I can try to help you with your question.
Outgoing mail ports are used to send emails from your email account to the internet. The default outgoing mail port for BigPond email accounts was typically port 25, but this may have changed over time.
If you're trying to set up your email client to send emails using a BigPond email account, you may need to use a different outgoing mail port. Here are some common alternatives:
- Port 587: This is a common alternative to port 25, which is often used for sending emails.
- Port 2525: This port is sometimes used as an alternative to port 25, especially if you're behind a firewall or have issues with port 25.
To set up your email client to use a different outgoing mail port, you'll need to check your email account settings. Here's how:
- Open your email client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.).
- Go to the "Settings" or "Preferences" menu.
- Look for the "Outgoing Mail Server" or "SMTP" settings.
- Check if there's an option to change the outgoing mail port.
- Enter the new port number (e.g., 587 or 2525) and save your changes.
Keep in mind that these ports may not work if your email account has been migrated to a different provider or if you're using a different email client. If you're still having issues, you may want to contact your email provider or a technical support specialist for further assistance.
