> AuthenticatingSMTPClient extends SMTPSClient but does not have a constructor 
> with the isImplicit argument.
> Because of this we can not connect to a SSL SMTP server that requires 
> authentication.
> According to the SMTPSClient javadoc :
> {quote}
> In explicit mode (the default), SSL/TLS
>  * negotiation starts when the user calls execTLS() and the server accepts 
> the command.
>  Implicit usage:
>                SMTPSClient c = new SMTPSClient(true);
>                c.connect("127.0.0.1", 465);
>  Explicit usage:
>                SMTPSClient c = new SMTPSClient();
>                c.connect("127.0.0.1", 25);
>                if (c.execTLS()) { /rest of the commands here/ }
> {quote} 
> So all in all, we could think this is not important to have a constructor 
> without the isImplicit argument, since we can go the c.execTLS() way.
> But here is what happens when you use the explicit usage with 
> AuthenticatingSMTPClient and a SSL connection (works fine with STARTTLS btw) 
> : when you call connect(), SMTP.__getReply() is eventually called, and line 
> 196 :
> {code}
>         String line = _reader.readLine();
> {code}
> is waiting for the SMTP server to reply... BUT the smtp client did not yet 
> initiate the SSL connection; so we just wait for the timeout to occur (since 
> the server won't reply anything before the SSL connection is initialized).
> And if we try to call execTls() before connect(), we get a NPE because the 
> writer is not set yet.
> I have attached a simple patch to make AuthenticatingSMTPClient works with 
> SSL connections (again it works fine with STARTTLS already)
