[AusNOG] Bigpond POP3 Down

[Joshua Small]

Hi,

Is this even still in use?

http://go.bigpond.com/emailupdate/

Telstra don't seem to specify if they've completed moving everyone to Bigpond.Live, but they initially claimed it would be completed "During 2012".

If anyone in particular is struggling with the offline POP3 service... POP3 SSL seems running fine on port 995.

This does have an interesting impact on ISPs - it used to be that "Run a mail server" was part of your expected package, and infrastructure you had to maintain. Several ISPs have moved to Microsoft's platform now and seems to be an emerging trend.

PS Yes, their service page in general looks down to me, I'm seeing "502 Proxy Error".

25 works, 110 no go, TPG network.

Well, POP3 runs on port 110 so a bit different to port 25 access.

I can't get connection on 110, but can on 25:

Joseph-MBP:~ joe$ telnet mail.bigpond.com<http://mail.bigpond.com> 25
Trying 61.9.168.249...
Won't send login name and/or authentication information.
Connected to mail.bigpond.com<http://mail.bigpond.com>.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 nskntcmgw05p BigPond Outbound ESMTP server ready

This is from outside BigPond's network.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi folks,

Customer advises they can't get their pop3 the last hour - I can't telnet port 25 to mail.bigpond.com<http://mail.bigpond.com> through their system (Telstra 3G WAP/Modem) or through the Optus network or a Melb Primus DC.

The status page also seems to be failing
http://servicestatus.bigpond.com/servicestatus/bigpond.com/current.do

So unless there's changes I've missed, seems Bigpond may be having some issues.

Haven't bothered to create a ticket with them, I'm sure they'll sort it out... Just an FYI.
