I'm not sure about that. I mean, i'm sure that it uses checkpassword but 
i'm not sure it can be used that way because various smtp authentication 
uses various greetings messages and handshake. it's not only a matter of 
obfuscating password in this way or another. as far as i know check 
password accepts user and password and return true or false on verification.

If i'm wrong then it's better for us :)
