New submission from John L <jo...@taugh.com>:
In an EAI (SMTPUTF8) mail session, AUTH usernames and passwords can be UTF-8,
not just ASCII.
The fix is easy. In smtplib.py, in three places in the auth() and
auth_cram_md5() routines change ".encode('ascii')" to
".encode(self.command_encoding)"
I have tried this with EAI mail servers in India and China to be sure it works.
