Considering that I setup the account and password for mrobin, I'd say that
he's in there. :-) Just on the chance that he might have changed his
password after I set him up, I also tried it using my own account and
password. When I enter "AUTH LOGIN" while connected, it's expecting a
plain text input from me, isn't it? I'm not sure, because I get what looks
like a jumble of letters following the two 334 responses I get in reply, so
I kind-of wonder if it's expecting something encrypted....
If I do an "AUTH PLAIN", I get some strange results:
$ telnet {my host} 25
Trying {my IP}...
Connected to {my host}.
Escape character is '^]'.

Any idea what the correct response is that it's expecting from me?
