[ubuntu-za] Axxess smtp issues on Ubuntu

[Wikus]

Morning Frans ,

Well it isn't the line as it happens at different locations (different 
lines and routers and network equipment)
So I doubt that is where the problem is. Even on different laptops. So 
it kinda seems to me that it should be
software or server related.

Also I have tried using SSL for the smtp like suggested yesterday by 
someone. That fails immediately.
Seems the axxess smtp doesn't support SSL , so I am stuck with having to 
use port 25.
