AOL Blocks Telstra Bigpond Mail

Posted by timothy on from the you're-not-on-the-a-list dept.

frodmann writes "Australian IT reports here that AOL has been blocking email from Telstra bigpond mail accounts. This is possibly attributed to AOL's new white list policy as reported earlier on Slashdot. Although this article is a few days old I can verify that this is still happening. (For those outside of Australia, Telstra is one of our largest ISPs.)"

  1. Telstra BigPond is crap!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    Typically the service offered from Tesltra is Australia is terrible, but due to lack of competition in Australia they have been able to get away with shoddy service and gerneral non-compliance for years.

    Maybe it costs you more because of the
    asymmetric nature of internet interconnection. Telstra probably has much higher expenses than ISPs in the US and Europe.
