Cannot send e-mail new SMTP provider

We want to use a SMTP server from a new provider. When I tried to send a test e-mail I get the error message "Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed..".
The provider told me that they use explicit SSL and that probably Business Central (.NET) use implicit SSL.
How do I change this, I can't find a property were I can change implicit/explicit SSL?

    There isn't a property that controls what type of SSL is used. But I think the port is what controls that. I know Office 365 wants port 587. What port does your provider say you should use?

    Here's an article on port 587 versus 25.

    Note that this article also shows an example of how you can use telnet from a command line to help troubleshoot. I suspect that either you are using the wrong port, or that authentication is failing, but that is getting reported to you as a connection close error. But you can get BC out of the way and test with a command line.

    The supplier is using port 465. When I use Gmail on port 587 it is working fine. But I think (and also the supplier) that is an implicit/explicit SSL problem.

    That is not a setting that BC will let you control. You can go look at the code in C400 SMTP Mail, but all of the heavy lifting is done in a DotNet DLL, not in C/AL or AL.
