Bigpond outgoing mail server port 25

A blast from the past!

BigPond was a popular internet service provider in Australia, and many people still use their email services. If you're trying to set up your email client to send outgoing emails using BigPond's outgoing mail server, you'll need to use the following settings:

• Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.bigpond.com
• Port: 25 (or 587 if you prefer to use a more secure connection)

Here's a breakdown of the settings:

• smtp.bigpond.com: This is the hostname of BigPond's outgoing mail server. You'll need to enter this in your email client's settings.
• 25: This is the default port number used for outgoing mail (SMTP) connections. You can also use port 587 if you prefer to use a more secure connection (TLS).

To set up your email client, follow these general steps:

1. Open your email client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.).
2. Go to the "Settings" or "Preferences" menu and select "Accounts" or "Email Accounts".
3. Click on "Add" or "New" to create a new email account.
4. Enter your BigPond email address and password.
5. In the "Outgoing Mail Server" or "SMTP" settings, enter smtp.bigpond.com as the hostname.
