Public bug reported: I use ssmtp to send mail via my GMail-account. At first I didn't understand why it wasn't working but after some troubleshooting I understood that it was because I use a password containing spaces. It don't help to wrap the password in ', " or [ ]. Therefore I was forced to change my password to a string without passwords which is far less secure (http://lifehacker.com/5796816/why-multiword-phrases-make-more- secure-passwords-than-incomprehensible-gibberish).
