The following SMTP error was encountered: 451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html.
Unable to send email using PHP SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.I’ve contact the host and everything is configured as I’ve sent mail via smtp on none EE sites.
If I use the same SMTP details on an EE3 site I developing locally and try send via the communication form I get the same error but with these notices.

After a bit more digging around I’ve managed to get mail sending via SMTP.
Our server was using qmail to send mail. I changed to Postfix and now I’m able to send mail via the SMTP protocol.
