OK, I think my phrasing was misleading, partly because my understanding was wrong. It does not matter what is in the username field. There is one unique sequence of characters (I cannot find another) that is rejected (without warning or error). This is the sequence that is my SMTP username, but that seems to be irrelevant. I.e., even if I change the SMTP username to 'foo' I CAN set the password to 'foo' or 'bar' but not to my username. I cannot find the interaction. Might someone, sometime have pondered forbidding a username to be used as a password in M? Anyway, I am not plagued by this as a practical matter, but it is an odd puzzle.
