Is it worth telnetting the port to check that it supports what you
think it does. For example, from several years ago:
$ telnet smtp.lionunicorn.co.uk 25 ←←←←←
Trying 149.255.58.10...
Connected to smtp.lionunicorn.co.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 cloud11.unlimitedwebhosting.co.uk ESMTP
ehlo me.here ←←←←←
250-cloud11.unlimitedwebhosting.co.uk
250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-STARTTLS
250-PIPELINING
250 8BITMIME
^] ←←←←←
telnet> quit ←←←←←
Connection closed.
I typed these lines. ←←←←←
Cheers,
