Our shipping server has SMTP AUTH support for relay and I'd be glad to set
up test accounts for client implementors.  Not sure when we'll get to
implementing the server->server SMTP AUTH feature.

There's a variety of client support out there.  Netscape 4.5, Mulberry,
Execmail (aka Simeon), Paladin mail, and Eudora.

In addition, Outlook Express and Netscape 4.0x implemented an early draft
of SMTP AUTH (using slightly different variants of the non-standard LOGIN
mechanism) which technically violates the ESMTP spec, but doesn't seem to
cause much harm in practice.
