As you're probably aware, /etc/tmdarc is for global settings which
affect every TMDA user on the system.  Since SMTP AUTH
username/password is generally user-specific, wouldn't it make more
sense to add this to your personal ~/.tmda/config instead?

User `andrew' (or whatever the username driving TMDA is) will need to
be able to read the file, otherwise the settings in it won't stick.
