mail-sources '((pop :server "incoming.verizon.net"

:port 995

That's likely the case. My config looks like this:
send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
message-send-mail-partially-limit nil
smtpmail-default-smtp-server "outgoing.verizon.net"
smtpmail-local-domain "verizon.net"
smtpmail-debug-info t
smtpmail-auth-credentials "/home/dsg/.authinfo.gpg"
smtpmail-smtp-service 465
smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("outgoing.verizon.net" 465 nil nil))
Is there some other way to do SMTP over SSL?
Thanks,
