Authenticate. Relay is disabled outside the localdomain, but I want to allow
it for authentiated hosts: The server responded: "relaying to
<listman@???> prohibited by administrator "

I use the encode perl script for the user/password and do a
"AUTH PLAIN [encode64 string here]" It returns success.

The only strangeness there is that the encode instructions say do it this way
encode '\0user=\0password", It then decodes it as $2 & $3. I have to do it
like encode 'user\0password' to get it to work, which decodes as $1 and $2. I
figure I can fiddle with testing this after I get it to allow authentication
outside the local domain.

In 3 it's auth_always_advertise=true under the main section. I tried this with
both settings. No use.
