#1: Make sure you're using the right host and ports. Implicit POP3 SSL is 995/tcp, SMTP SSL is 465/tcp. Some clients will not change the port automatically.
More info here: http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=287 #2: You need to request that your port 25/tcp outbound block be lifted. Use the Abuse Report form here: http://helpme.att.net/servabuse.php and select **Opt Out Port 25 in the Abuse Type dropdown.
