~/email.conf

MY_NAME  = 'Joel Rubin'
MY_EMAIL = 'jmrubin AT nerdshack DOT com'
SMTP_AUTH = 'LOGIN'
SMTP_SERVER = 'mail.nerdshack.com'
SMTP_PORT = '25'
SMTP_AUTH_USER = 'jmrubin' -
SMTP_AUTH_PASS = '[censored]'
============================

After I give the command

email -s "Test" myotheraccount AT wherever DOT net

I get the following error:

Communicating with SMTP server...
email: FATAL: Smtp error: 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6

Caught an ERROR, Shutting down...

===========================

The "error" is just the mail server asking me for the encrypted form
of my user name after I give the AUTH LOGIN command.

UGFzc3dvcmQ = "Username:" in base 64.

It then asks for "Password:" the same way.

I can login to the SMTP server with telnet.

Why does this program die on a 334 message? 334 is a request for more
info, not an error.
