While I understand your plight (I'm there myself), blaming the documentation
will get you nowhere here. Unfamiliarity with terminology gets in my way, but
the more I learn the more the docs answer my questions. It takes me several
readings to get some of the concepts down, and how to accomplish SMTP auth
isn't one I've absorbed yet. Perhaps I'm just slow, but I'd rather believe that's
the norm.
