One other thing I've just discovered...

It seems that the hostname you specify in the "Remote SMTP Server" 
field must exactly match the CN in the servers certificate for the TLS 
connection to work.

Is that correct?
I don't remember seeing that in the doco, but there was a reply to an 
earlier TLS question that eluded to this.

Regards,
Glenn
