Thanks Derrick, Edward and Colin for responding.
I looked it up and it is indeed a bug in squirrelmail (1.4.0)
currently available in testing. (#200108)
It should be fixed in version 1.4.2-1
I says how to solve the problem: some code needed to be commented.
As to the EHLO, i changed that also in the source code to HELO.
I can now send email via webmail too.
Next, i'll be looking into ssl to get a secure connection.
