3rd April 2024 and I am unable to send mail. When I use curl I get the following error.

curl -v smtps://smtp.virginmedia.com -u <email>:<password>

* Trying 84.116.6.19:465...
* connect to 84.116.6.19 port 465 failed: Timed out
* Failed to connect to smtp.virginmedia.com port 465 after 21088 ms: Couldn't connect to server
* Closing connection
curl: (28) Failed to connect to smtp.virginmedia.com port 465 after 21088 ms: Couldn't connect to server

See Re: server unreachable on e-mail - Virgin Media Community - 5505279; hopefully issue is resolved by now.
