well, it's not completely cosmetic. Problem is, that if I enter the 
password wrongly I need to stop the smtp session and start all over 
again. In one session after a wrongly entered password, even if you 
enter the right password, the authentication fails.

I can understand that this is too small for a lenny upload alone, but 
maybe if you can add it, when you do an update.

thanks
Philipp
