Cecil,
Do you have the SSL certificate setup?

Not being able to connect using SSL or STARTTLS is often just a problem
with the certificate.

I am using the submission port 587. I just retired a server that was

Connection Security STARTTLS

Connection Security NONE
Authentication method Encrypted password
Which is the correct setting?

The first setting is preferred, and will hopefully be required in the
future. The entire message/session is encrypted, including the password,
so the login/plain password setting is a little misleading when it says
that the password is transmitted insecurely.
The cram-md5 authentication method (one of the encrypted password
methods) will be removed from the stock QMT at some point in the future.
It no longer serves a useful purpose (due to the advent of TLS), and
requires that passwords be stored in plain text on the server, which is
undesirable from a security standpoint.
