TLS / SSL SMTP and virtual server

[bazaarboy]

Been using phpmailer for a while on a local machine, and everything works ok.
Now I need to run my code on a virtual server but simply cannot get secure emails to send, eg anything on port 465 / 587.

My basic set up:
Wampserver 2.0i
(mysql 5.1.36, apache 2.211, php 5.30 and the latest phpmailer)

Has anyone had any trouble like this? thanks
