Using SSL and of course port 443

Email cannot be sent using port 443/tcp which is reserved for https only. If you want to send email you have to use port 25/tcp or 587/tcp (STARTTLS) or 465/tcp (SSL/TLS). You will find detailed information how to set-up email in the administrator guide.

It would be nice if you could summarize the root cause of your problem and how you’ve fixed it, so that other users with a similar problem could learn from it too.
