The SmtpClient Authenticate function only supports AUTH LOGIN.  Until more
methods are added, it really really really should not be just throwing a
plaintext password at the server and hoping it sticks.  Something like the
following needs to be added to the top of the function.

            if ((authMechs & AuthMechs.Login) == 0)
            {
                throw new SmtpException("AUTH LOGIN is not supported by the
server");
            }
