I tested, but got:

# perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("user\0user\0password");'
dXNlcgB1c2VyAHBhc3N3b3Jk

(after
# openssl s_client -connect morpheus.wustl.edu:25 -starttls smtp
...
220 morpheus.wustl.edu ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.1/8.13.1; Thu, 1 Dec 2005 14:52:41

(if I press Enter, it shows:)
535 5.7.0 authentication failed

quit

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks!
