The just-plain-broken kind of problems, like that SMTPClient sends AUTH 
before HELO. Or that it doesn't include the domain in the HELO. Etc. 
Things that (from what I understand) are well-defined by RFC 2821 and 
indicate that SMTPClient has simply never seen much (if any) real use.

And since it's one of our first lines of communications when we're 
unable to send email a whole set of things can't move forward on the 
installation site, the customer is stalled, and when we *then* find out 
that we have to deploy a custom patch for it, my boss gets seriously 
unhappy.

That's why I'm looking for something that has seen a bit more usage and 
successfully talked to a variety of MTAs.
