The remote server I'm using listens on port 993, uses SSL. Not good. 993 is the ImapS port, not an smtp port. Use a SMTP server to send the mail to.
I mentioned port 993 only because a login to a server is sometimes required in order for a client to send email; 993 indicates the use of SSL. So, yes, it is an IMAPS port, but knowing about the use of SSL may be relevant to sending mail.
Mail is sent via SMTP, not via IMAP. So you can not use Port 993 to SEND mails. If you have a look at your Thunderbird settings you will see that there are separate fields for IMAP server and SMTP server. Use the server that is configured in your smtp settings. You will probably have to authenticate before you are able to send mails. Unfortunately, mini_sendmail can't authenticate to a remote server. It is possible to configure Postfix to authenticate to a relayserver. Another way would be to use a mail client that can be configured to send mail without user interaction. -- Sandy List replies only please!
