That would explain why it works with my MSA, which runs Courier, which 
supports the obsolete "AUTH=" SMTP extension:

| io:~> telnet io 25

| Connected to io.link-m.de.

Why would you need to do port wrapping?  Sorry, I don't get it.  My OE 5.5 
does SMTPS over port 465 just fine.  Or did you mean STARTTLS?

At least not with versions up to 2000.  I never tried anything newer.
