Some ISPs block outgoing email that isn't delivered through their own
mail servers. This can help prevent spam.

" I've logged into gmail.com with those same
values - on the RPi - and it works."

which makes your statement meaningless, or rather not helpful,  sadly.

I still say that there is simply an issue of getting the right port.and 
encryption format set up. That's all.

I've finally got mail running - hurrah!  However it isn't using ssmtp.
Nothing seemed to help with that.  Instead I installed exim as 
described very thoroughly in:
  http://www.sbprojects.net/projects/raspberrypi/exim4.php

Initially restarting exim whined about no IPv6 (modprobe ipv6 fixes that).

Mail successfully sent to my intended target machine on the very first try.

Thanks to all for your thoughtful replies!

yeah. I use exim here and its a bitch to set up, but runs flawlessly 
once you have the right magic spells in place. Postfix is similar.

If Id known you are doing exim Id have posted my conf files..I use TLS 
to send

Thanks.  However I hadn't been using exim initially.  Most of the 
recommendations I'd found avoided it for the simpler ssmtp.  But I 
couldn't get ssmtp to work, and exim worked 1st time.
