Can someone give me some advice on how to do SMTP authentication with
smtplib.py? 

The server lists extensions of 'PIPELINING', '8BITMIME' and
'AUTH=LOGIN' at connection.  An SMTP library command of
server.docmd('auth', 'login') will make the server prompt for a
username in Base64 (reply: '334 VXNlcm5hbWU6\015\012'), but I have no
idea how to consummate the authentication. Any suggestions?
