what port is the server listening on .Did you check with the admin? mostly smtp listens on 25 but not sure about ssl.

Are you downloading mail from your ISP? Check with them what settings need to be made for sending mail... Mostly these days, you need to enable authenticate for sending mail too, and you may need to enable secure mode...
