Re: Patch: Add SMTP_AUTH-support

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

Looks useful. Though sending credentials  in clear text... at least  
and SSL option would be nice if we first add this patch. I must admit  
I'm not very familiar with SMTP auth, but could this implementation  
work over SSL? If so and since monit's support SSL, making this  
connection and auth over SSL should be easy.
