The gmail servers are using host keys to allow relaying (thus the
STARTTLS requirement.)  We are aiming at some point to incorparate SMTP
AUTH into the NMS SMTP mailer, however the TLS part might prove a little
intractable given the requirement only to use the core modules as it
will require the reimplementation of a lot of encryption stuff that is
quite computationally intensive and will be very slow in pure perl.
