[Dovecot] I can receive but not send
I'm not too sure where to look here. I can access my mail via Dovecot and there is an initial requirement to accept an SSL key ( self signed ) however after I look in my inbox and read a piece of email ( via SeaMonkey eMail client ) I can not send. I simply get told that the server would not accept the smtp connection. I was hoping for a smtps connection but I'll take what I can get.
Am I missing something obvious here ?

Yes, Dovecot is not an SMTP server, it provides POP3 and IMAP which are for mail retrieval. Common SMTP servers are Exim, Postfix, Sendmail and Qmail.

Dovecot isn't a SMTP-Server/MTA. See also: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailServerOverview
