    I found the problem...it was really stupid. The computer I was using
    to test authentication had the computer name (win98) set to
    king_graham, and it was being rejected because it was not a proper
    hostname when sending EHLO king_graham. I changed it to king-graham
    and now it can try to authenticate.

    Now I get "TLS not supported"...still have to figure that out.

Take care, eh.
