It is... now.

I finally received a notification that the server has a sercurity
certificate and it passed the cert down to my client. However, it's not
accepting the password, plaintext. I also attempted encrypted, but that was
clearly rejected as the server not supporting encrypted passwords.

	This server that I am testing with is a virtual machine. There's
only me logging into it. It's only running a couple of services and I'm
testing the email connectivity within itself. I want to get this all down
pat before working this up on the main server. I won't negatively impact
email if I can help it.
