 * Hi,
 * I just installed the plugin and tried with both Amazon SES & Mandrill SMTP but
   always get Error: SMTP connect() failed. Have checked with Amazon & Mandrill 
   and all my settings are correct. Even changed host and now to Hostgator which
   is not blocking any ports.
 * Need help please to get this to work, no idea what else to try.
 * Thanks,
    Yiannis
