I'm not going to question the bearer of good news :). The error simon
was getting with this was:

(this was off-list at the tail end of the thread). IIRC I confirmed
that this happened to me but I've used msmtp ever since. Maybe
something's changed at the google end in the meantime.

And looking back at Paolo's problem I see its not going to be the
Authen::SASL problem, its too early in the code; its possible that
he's still trying to connect to port 587 (requires smtp/starttls) not
the default ssl port.
