Doesn't list AUTH PLAIN or STARTTLS in it's EHLO greeting (as you can 
see in the S: lines following the C: EHLO... lines.

The first one dutily responds with a "command not implemented" to the 
AUTH command. I can't see anything wrong there.

OTOH, the second one looks like you've mis-typed the password or the 
username. That could conceivably be an error in my changes, but given 
that it works for me here, I can't see anything wrong.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to step through the changes and tell me which 
of them introduced breakage for you. Given that telnetting into the 
host and manually issueing EHLO gives no AUTH capability either, I 
suspect the server has been reconfigured.

The second parameter (which you have wisely deleted) is the 
base64-encoded string "$user\0$user\0$pass" with $user == username and 
$pass == password, of course.

I still wonder how it worked before. the virtualartisans server doesn't 
accept connections of port 465 (smtps) too, so it can't be that AUTH 
PLAIN is only available under SSL (smtps connection refused) or TLS (no 
STARTTLS advertized).
