And I should have said explicitly (though it is implied), that I do
this with a Rackspace email account...

FYI, I tried using it with my SMTP provider (Rackspace) who
requires SSL and StartTLS. I kept getting an authorization error,
login credentials were refused.
This doesn't make sense to me. I can use code based on the VFP SMTP
email class on the Fox Wiki
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~SendSmtpEmail#vfpsmtpken
to send email using the AUTH LOGIN protocol. No SSL or TLS required.
And it uses Port 25.
Something about your configuration may cause RackSpace to *expect*
those things, but RackSpace, as an email service, does not *require* them.
Yes I know, "insecure", "dangerous" (if you're next to one of the
half dozen or so crazed l33t script kiddies who bother trying to
intercept and decode email packets; everybody else just uses
phishing schemes) and so forth. Point is, it works. A bit of
research would result in the ability to apply a different protocol
within the code; I just haven't had the need for it.
