A more full and useful answer is that there are a few (cryptographic)
protocols which will do what you want. One (http://srp.stanford.edu/) is
even defined in an RFC. However, no standard has been defined (to my
knowledge) for implementing them in SMTP senders or receivers. As such
the code could exist, but probably wouldn't be useful for what you want.
