I recently figured out how to send mail thru my ISP ID using ssmtp.  I had 
previously only been using KMail, and I had it configured to use port 465  SSL 
LOGIN.
I can send mail when I don't use port 465:
mailhub=mail.InsightBB.com
but if I add the port 465 a,d enable SSL with:
UseTLS=YES
then I use the -v switch and also -auFreeBSD -apPassword
as in smtp -v -auFreeBSD -apPassword freebsd at insightbb.com
and the messages all indicate success, but the mail never arrives. It does 
when I don't use SSL on port 465.
KMail does work with SSL on port 465.
