I have seen many places saying "Don't use PLAIN or LOGIN methods for SMTP AUTH, unless 
they are encrypted" Now my question is this:
I've looked at the actual transfer of an SMTP session where the AUTH LOGIN was used, 
and the password wasn't sent in plain-text. Is it trivial to decrypt the 
username and password that is sent across the wire, or is there some other 
vulnerability?
