I don't see what the SSL and port 995 have to do with anything but your
smtp connectivity to the server.

Precisely and exactly and completely what do you mean that mail to
vodafone 'bounces'?  That is, do you mean your provider is giving you a
delivery status notification failure or do you mean something else, like
vodafone accepts the mail for delivery and then notifies you with a
failure?

Bounces is sometimes a very vague term.  To the sender, it might simply
mean that the intended recipient didn't get the mail, but from a
troubleshooting point of view there needs to be more clarity about how
it broke down.

Depending upon the point of failure, you could also be getting some
additional information by making a copy to yourself with the vodafone
recipient.  That sometimes helps by providing a message id when
otherwise with some other failures there isn't one.  When all you have
is a Sent mail item for a lost mail out, it doesn't have a mid.
