smtp email not working

I don't use my host's email service. I have a 3rd party IMAP email service I use. I've tried to use both smtp and smtpauth with no luck. I use my login name (not email address) and password along with either port 25 or 443. If I use port 25, I get could not connect to SMTP host error. If I use port 443, I get the following from address failed. The email from is the same domain as my site. Has anyone experienced similar errors and resolved them?

Re: smtp email not working

I managed to use port 587 and am getting a sent email message. This was with smtpauth. The problem is that emails aren't being received. This should be my last hurdle. Can anyone help?
