Done. (BTW, './swaks --help' doesn't show anything, as the script
implies.)

So I'm getting a confirmation that TLS is running, but that
CRAM-MD5 just isn't working...
I'll check the modules to make sure I've actually got all the ones
I'm supposed to have, but I didn't get an error stating that one was
missing.
Hopefully also get to try Guillaume Filion's AUTH plugin - I'm
currently primary care giver to our nearly 2 year old daughter, and she's
pretty demanding :-) so my focus on this is a bit sporadic at the moment.
(Thanks to all for the responses I'm getting!)
