That's the correct setup.<br>
smtp.ecs does not talk on 993 (that's IMAPS for retrieving mail
securely from an IMAP server, nothing to do with sending mail) or
2525 (that's just made up :-)<br>
<br>
465 is secure mail from email applications with SSL and
authentication, which is what you need. Note that 465 was also
listed in the default ports at which point your email client app
should be able to auto-detect it.<br>

P.S. If you do see unreliability in a service, it does help if
people actually report it. ;-)<br>
<br>
P.P.S. A lot of other organisational networks do block outbound VPN
traffic, as if you use a VPN they can't snoop your traffic.<br>

<div>That might also explain your VPN not working. When I was in
Ulster, their policy was to block pretty much everything,
including OUTGOING traffic to a VPN. Seemed like over kill to
me, but the only way around was either to fill in a form, or
resort to ssh tunnelling.</div>

<div>sometimes<br>
like now from Bournemouth<br>
the smtp.ecs to send email seems to fail<br>
<br>
I'll try changing port to 25 or 2525 from 993<br>
doesn't help<br>
<br>
and then later it will just work<br>
<br>
any idea on how to get success at these stall
moments?<br>
<br>
also the VPN would not connect so not an option<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
