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.
