@DanPrice These are the recommended Bigpond SMTP SSL Settings.

Manual Bigpond Outgoing server details:

  • Outgoing server address: mail.bigpond.com
  • Outgoing server port: 465 (recommended) or 587
  • Authentication: Yes
  • Encrypted connection: With SSL encryption

Username & Password:

  • User name: Your Telstra email address - ending in ‘@bigpond.com’, ‘@bigpond.net.au’ or ‘@telstra.com.’
  • Password: Your Telstra email account password - REMEMBER it’s case sensitive.

Note:- Alot of the Bigpond early email accounts where changed a few years ago to Telstra’s own mail servers (now called Telstra Mail) depending on when your Bigpond email address was setup. A friend of mines email was such one of those users and so we used the following SMTP setting “smtp.telstra.com” in Em Client which works fine. Good luck.

Ps If you do change smtp server settings, first move any failed Bigpond emails into the eg: drafts folder and then once smtp server settings changed, try sending new emails.
