Well, since it worked with 2.0.x series, I guess everything is fixed
there. I traced the problem with Gmail's SMTP server not liking
sending another EHLO after autheticating, which is what 1.4.6 does. I
could not presently upgrade to 2.0.x series yet, so for now, what I
did is I made an SMTP proxy (less than 20 lines in Python). It's a
hack, but for now, it will do because I can't upgrade to 2.0.x until I
get some free time (resolving depndency stuff to build it on my
machine. not).
