The whole point of smtps is so that text isn't sent in plain clear
text over the internet, you won't be able to use telnet to connect
directly to the server, you'd have to introduce something into the
loop... stunnel... which he already says using works fine.

Hrm... I think there may be a little confusion here... smtps is
connecting to an SMTP server using TLS/SSL... the above is used when
that method isn't used as there is no point encrypting a password in
an already encrypted mechanism. Though there is nothing really
stopping you from doing it though I guess.
