What am I doing wrong? Why is the user name being encoded twice?
Ok... turns out that this is/was a bug in the python smtplib as recently as Dec 6 2004:
Patch #1075928: AUTH PLAIN in smtplib.
"smtplib can not log in to some server using command AUTH PLAIN, it sends
``user\0user\0pass'' to the server, but ``\0user\0pass'' has better
compatibility."

Sigh...
