Apparently BigPond blacklisted some ISP's, iiNet was one for a time.
Should be rectified now.

Yes, I am also having problems with bigpond addresses. Emails sent
are being returned but not until three days later. I have contacted
the intended recipients and they can offer no reason for the hiccup.
Some time ago there was a similar problem. At that time iinet
advised me that emails to bigpond addresses were being blocked and
there was nothing they could do about it. Eventually it righted
itself but in the meantime very frustrating. Particularly having to
wait three days before realising the email has not reached its
destination.
I'll be interested to know if anyone has any further knowledge of
the problem.

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.
