Sending mail via SMTP hangs.

Hello,

When I try to send mail via my ISP's SMTP server, Emacs hangs (until I type
C-g).  I have tried following several different sets of instructions (blogs,
the Emacs wiki, the source file smtpmail.el) on how to configure Emacs to send
mail via SMTP.

Here is the relevant part of my .emacs file:
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ; if you use message/Gnus
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.rurallink.co.nz")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain "no8wireless.co.nz")
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t) ; only to debug problems
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials  ; or use ~/.authinfo
      '(("smtp.rurallink.co.nz" 465 "aidalgol@no8wireless.co.nz" "<secret>")))
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials
      '(("smtp.rurallink.co.nz" 465 nil nil)))

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I would really like to switch to Emacs as
my mail reader, and this is quite frustrating.

Thanks,
Aidan
