hi, I've had the same problem I believe. For me the problem was twofold.
1. Trying to reach a third-party smpt server through my local internet connection. In my case, I've been at several locations where I try to send mail to the webfaction smpt server via the local internet connection. I cannot do it. I always have to use someone else's username/id that is local to the connection in order to send email via smpt. When you put your project/application on webfaction, this problem will disappear (I figure). I don't recall the technical jargon, but it's related to not relaying smpt request due to spam concerns. 2. Different smpt servers require different authentication protocols. Some just assume that if your attached you must be ok. It's trial and error until it works.
