Hi.  Thanks for the response.  The "From:" header is "David
Ventimiglia <ventimig@msu.com>", but I don't know what that would be
compared against to verify.  My email address on the IMAP server is
ventimig@msu.edu, but what does the SMTP server compare it against?

Also, smtpmail-auth-credentials has its default value, "~/.authinfo",
and in that file I have:

machine mail.msu.edu login <my user id> force yes

Anyway, in the SMTP trace window are these lines

AUTH PLAIN AHZlbnRpbWlnAFRtdGN0bXRzdHMx
235 Authentication succeeded
MAIL FROM:<ventimig@msu.com> SIZE=182
250 OK

It seems like authentication to the SMTP server works.
