Wouldn't it be better to make Test::Reporter (which CPAN::Reporter uses
for sending mail) do SMTP auth? Maybe it does already, but if it does
it's not documented.
It's a long standing Test::Reporter issue:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=8544
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22769
One of the Vanilla testers (I forget who -- I apologize) claimed he'd
hacked up a patch to Test::Reporter to deliver via HTTP, but it never
got any traction with the maintainers.
I've spoken to Ask as well and the idea of an HTTP gateway to
CPAN-testers is on the backlog wishlist for Perl NOC.
I'm open to improving CPAN::Reporter to use any methods that work,
though I'd prefer to see improvements in Test::Reporter so that all
can benefit rather than create parallel functionality.
