    I'm trying to setup the SMTP email with a service called "CritSend".
    They require to send out of port 587.

    When I do a test i aMember (after entering in all the vital login/pass/port/smtp information), I get the following warning:

    =>WARNING: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to smtp.critsend.com:587 (Connection timed out) in line 122 of file class.smtp.php

    =>There was an error sending the email message
    =>SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

    Any ideas what the issue may be?

    Possible your host has a firewall rule preventing access?
