Tom, I did send a support ticket in this regard asking for their help in
accomplishing what i wanted to do which was to send emails from squeak. I
wanted to see if I could use their SMTP server since my account included
email capability. I assumed that sending emails from squeak would be
possible if I could find the mechanism for authenticating a session using my
account with their servers.

the code snippet that I used comes form  http://blog.saush.com/?p=199 and I
merely copied it and tried it on a workspace. I assume that messages like
#initiateSession interacts with the SMTP server in the prescribed manner for
authenticating the source of the session as evidenced by the need for
username/password.

Googling '503 AUTH command used when not advertised', I gathered that
certain steps needed to be be accomplished which included issuing the EHLO
command before the AUTH command. I was wondering if anyone had any
experience with this at all.

Thanks for the input, Tom
