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).

Ubuntu-server 12.04 x64
ssmtp 2.64
