Tick box to remove error message with port blank?

    There is an obscure problem when using 1and1 hosting while trying to send emails through 1and1 smtp servers. No combination setting will work except the following:

    Server: smtp.1and1.com
    Authentication: none
    Port: (BLANK)
    Username: xxx
    Password: xxx

    Apparently it was verified that this is actually somehow redirected and routed securely through 1and1 even with the settings as such. I went through a TON of different SMTP plugins and yours is the only one that would let me save settings with the port number blank. Would it be possible to include a tick box to remove the error message when the port number is left blank? I would imagine it should be an easy addition.

    Also… I figured it might be worth noting that you could potentially mention 1and1 in your documentation under this particular usage scenario. 1and1 is a big company and I am sure others have encountered this and never figured it out.

    @tengis, I could probably add an option to disable any admin notice from the plugin. Can you please copy and paste your full configurations so I can include 1and1 in the documentation?

    SMTP Host: smtp.1and1.com
    SMTP Authentication: False
    SMTP Username: (your email username)
    SMTP Password: (your password)
    Type of Encryption: No Encryption
    SMTP Port: (blank)

    Those are the only settings that I can get to work.

    Weird. After having messed with it for hours and getting it working it does not appear to be working any longer. I am going to contact 1and1 and see if they have suggestions.
