Hmmmm Still not working for me :o(
My bigpond mail account: Both POP & STMP servers set as mail.bigpond.com STMP server requires authentification: ticked Logon using: clicked and username & password used - same as for POP STMP service requires secure connection (SSL): tried with and without this checked I also tried checking use same settings as receiving mail server. In every case I got the aforementioned error message. Mail is being received fine so I know there is no problem with the username/password. I found this page on bigpond roaming <http://www.bigpond.com/internet/services/connect-roam/globalroaming/setting up/> which agrees with what you say regarding STMP settings but seems to imply I need to download and install some software called iPass?? - or is this just to roam a bigpond internet connection? For internode I found this page: <http://www.internode.on.net/support/guides/email/mail_relay/> which says that I need to use secure STMP to connect from other ISPs and points to: <http://www.internode.on.net/support/guides/email/secure_email/> which seems to say I need to change the port from 25 to 465 for secure email I might try this next time I go to Perth - I'll be happy to stick with using the Internode STMP everywhere (the bigpond attempt was just to see if I could use the Bigpond STMP server from an Internode ADSL connection).
