It seems that lot of ISPs block Port 25 to prevent spam. By using SSL on port 465 this can be circumvented. The Port 25 block leads to the error message
The drawback is, that username and smtp password of the email account have to be saved unencrypted in the addon source code. This should therefore only be done with email accounts such as gmail, which have separate login and smtp passwords.
I think it is best to have different email accounts for every addon or addon developer and not use one email account for all buggalo emails.
I based this branch on zbynas fork, since his changes already include a fix to the email sender. So it would be better to merge his branch first.
