We don't use Net::SMTP because it is not a Core module in all of the
versions that we are targetting (We aim to support all versions from
5.00404 onwards).

We would be delighted to see a patch that implements SMTP AUTH at all as
it is something that we have been asked for before.  Ideally a patch
should include the appropriate updates to the documentation and be made
against the latest CVS sources.

If you are not in a position to provide a 'diff' format patch of the
changes then please send us the altered code so we can hand apply the
changes.

Thanks for your offer of help.
