I'm not going to question the bearer of good news :). The error simon was getting with this was:

(this was off-list at the tail end of the thread). IIRC I confirmed that this happened to me but I've used msmtp ever since. Maybe something's changed at the google end in the meantime.

And looking back at Paolo's problem I see its not going to be the Authen::SASL problem, its too early in the code; its possible that he's still trying to connect to port 587 (requires smtp/starttls) not the default ssl port.
