I changed only the screen output. The username is printed not not encrypted, to be able to check it by eye. The 
username sent over the network is and was always encrypted.

The only clue I have is to compare the network traffic you get with an email client (outlook, thunderbird ??) 
with the network traffic you get from elogd. To monitor the traffic, I use normally WireShark (formerly Ethereal, 
www.wireshark.org). You have to filter for "tcp.port == 25" which is SMTP, then capture your traffic, right-
click on it and select "Follow TCP stream". The result you see in the attachment. The strings produced by elogd 
are pink, the strings from the SMTP server are blue. In my case I don't have authentication (our SMTP server does 
not support this). In you case, you have to compare the traffic from a functioning email client with elogd.
