I Cannot Send Using SMTP, How Do I Fix This
The SMTP provides a set of codes that will simplify the communication of email messages and email servers. However, if you are unable to send email using SMTP, there is a way of fixing this problem. Which, you’ll learn in this guide.
Presuming it has been correctly configured then it is likely due the ISP blocking access to the server.
Unfortunately, in this instance the only solution is to use the ISP's outgoing mail server. Here is a partial list of outgoing servers for some popular ISPs:

My Isp Is Not on This List
