When configuring your email settings, you may encounter issues with ISPs/Outgoing Mail Servers. Some ISPs block SMTP port 25, which can prevent your email software from connecting properly. If your ISP blocks port 25, you will need to use your ISP’s outgoing mail server to set up your outbound SMTP for your email account.
Here is a list of some Australian ISPs and their corresponding outgoing mail servers.
| AAPT | mail.aapt.net.au |
| Bigpond | mail.bigpond.com |
| Dodo | smtp.dodo.com.au |
| iiNet | mail.iinet.net.au |
| Internode | mail.internode.on.net |
| iPrimus | smtp.iprimus.com.au |
| OneTheNet | mail.onthenet.com.au |
| OptusNet | mail.optusnet.com.au |
| Ozemail | smtp.ozemail.com.au |
| Three (Mobile) | smtp.three.com.au |
| TPG | mail.tpg.com.au |
| Virgin | smtp.virginbroadband.com.au |
| Vodafone | smtp.vodafone.net.au |
