Although Apache (James) server supports receiving mail with TLS, it can't send mail with TLS or SSL. php doesn't support SSL SMTP - so that's two of the internet's most popular server software ranges that only work with basic SMTP

Anyway - sounds like the original question is tentatively answered, it seems like VM intend to remove support for basic SMTP, and so far although a few helpful pointers, they either misunderstand the issue, or don't quite fit the requirement.

Thanks for the helpful replies nonetheless.
yes nativvely doesnt support but that doesmt mean you cant doa workaround or php6 does support ssl smtp
