It is a pending problem that does not have a good solution at the moment: the 
gb.net.smtp component has no support for any authentication.

I can't add it, because I don't know how to do it. So I should rewrite the 
component to use a library that know how to authenticate, like libesmtp. But 
that library has no MIME attachment support, so I have to do it myself. 

Not something that can be done in five minutes... Unless someone knows a 
library that can do SMTP with authentication *with* MIME attachment 
management!
