[Nmh-workers] send -sasl and -user |

So we had our local mail service that accepted STARTTLS on port 587,
so in .mh_profile I had:
send: -nomime -msgid -server auth.smtp.vt.edu -port 587 -tls -sasl
and in .netrc I had:
machine auth.smtp.vt.edu login valdis password dream-on-not-what-it-really-is
and it Just Worked.
We're starting a transition to Google Apps, and I got selected as a crash test
dummy.
So I fix .mh_profile to have '-server smtp.gmail.com' instead, and add to
.netrc:
machine auth.smtp.vt.edu login valdis password dream-on-not-really
machine smtp.gmail.com login address@hidden password dream-on-not-really
and gmail wouldn't take it. Near as my testing shows, when send/post go to
read .netrc, it doesn't use the '-server' value to look up 'machine' and then
pick up the login/password fields - once I added '-user address@hidden', it
was then able to find the right line in .netrc and it started working.
This is probably a bug, because it's quite possible that somebody could have
the same 'userid' on multiple mail servers, but different passwords - so you
really want to look up by machine, not login. (Heck, if our internal people had
done things differently, it would have been 'login address@hidden' on both
SMTP servers).
