Is anyone else experiencing bigpond email problems?
Yesterday I was getting an error message trying to retrieve mail from
bigpond (other non-bipgpond email accounts working fine). To keep an eye on
things I sent off a couple of test emails to my bigpond address.
Later the connection problem seemed to resolve and I no longer get error
messages trying to retrieve mail - however my test messages did not come
back.
Then I got a Delivery Status Notification email - similar to the one below
but at less delivery attempts (5 from memory).
So I sent another (third) test message - and this went through OK and I
received it back very quickly - so I assumed everything was now OK (though I
wondered what happened to the first two test messages).
This morning when I fired up the email there were more Delivery Status
Notification emails (including one below) which correspond to both the first
two test messages.
So I sent another test message - and so far I have not got that back either
(no Delivery Status Notifications for this one yet).
So... If I am reading the error message correctly:
- the SMTP server at my ISP Internode is still trying to send my first two
test messages but bigpond is not accepting them?
- although the message says "temporary failure" and "not accepting messages
at this time" a subsequent message (test 3) WAS accepted and got through (so
messages WERE being accepted at that time) but the original two were still
not accepted.
- although no Delivery Status Notification has been received as yet, a
fourth test email has still not been received despite a number of "receive"
attempts which seemed to connect without problem - so it seems bigpond is
still not accepting email to my bigpond address.
Is anyone else with bigpond experiencing similar problems. Anyone have any
ideas?
By the way, just to clarify:
- I used to have bigpond dial-up so have a bigpond email account.
- I went to Broadband with Internode (so all outgoing emails are sent
through the Internode SMTP serverbut kept the cheapest bigpond dial-up
($25/year) to keep my bigpond email address.
Cheers
