Hi. Thanks all. Moving on to the STARTTLS mode.

If I should start new topic, warn me.

AUTH PLAIN failed: 554 Security failure
Server said: 554 Security failure

MIME::Base64 encode/decode

my $encodedString = "AUTH PLAIN "
                    . encode_base64(join("\0", $auth->{user}, $auth->{
+user}, $auth->{password}), $CRLF);
                    my  $decodedString = decode_base64($encodedString)
+;
                    warn("decodedString '$decodedString'");

Encode produces: 

AUTH PLAIN d2VibWFzdGVyXEBid21qY20udXMAd2VibWFzdGVyXEBid21qY20udXMAd21

Decode produces:

 D<5ݕѕqݵݕѕqݵݵ ]4

I thought the decoded string would be that same as the input string.No?
