	SOMETHING on the theme is stated in draft-myers-smtp-auth-10.txt
	on your nearest internet-drafts archive. (January 1998)
 
	Does your host list "AUTH" as capability to "EHLO" responses ?
	(I doubt it, as I haven't done any support for it, but I might
	 want to add it -- once I understand how various systems use
	 it -- like M$ which has this weird "AUTH LOGIN" entry in
	 MS Exchange 5.5 capabilities. )
