Nice (Pink Floyd). You might want to leave the toaster string (Welcome
to Qmail Toaster Ver. 1.3) in there though. It helps bots that do
surveys count your server as a Qmail Toaster (which helps all of us).
There are various pages on the web about testing auth with telnet. If we
don't have it on the wiki yet, google for it, learn it, then add it to
the wiki. TLS is particularly tricky because you need to encode what you
send. There's a web site that'll do the encoding for you though, and you
can simply cut'n'paste it.

Eric,
The wiki doesn't explain authentication.

You don't have to have telnet on the server. It's a client app. You can
# telnet <mailhost> 25
to any email transport server, so long as there is connectivity.
(Perhaps you're thinking of ssh??)

I know how to use telnet, but I don't activate it on my servers
because it's insecure. I'll take a look at it later. It's not that
pressing since it's only on my wifes machine! :)

try testing the authentification with a telnet session
from your windows box, if that works you can pin point the issue to
your mail client
if you dont know how to test it via telnet
use this nice tut :

There is a more boiled-down one on the wiki:
