We use smtp-auth more as spam-blocker as for authentification. Everyone uses
the same credentials. So clear-text is not a problem.

SMTP over SSL (SMTPS) works exactly the same as SMTP. So this patch should
work as is. I have no idea on how to add ssl-support to SMTP. As I know
SMTP/TLS is more common than SMTPS but would be much harder to implement
than SMTPS.

I'll try to use the existing SSL-code to add SMTPS-support.
