OK, sorry, I'm not as bright with base64 as I thought. You're right, it
does not end with a "=", this is seemingly not the case with all base64
user/passw encoded strings.
Anyway, the perl command above does result in a correct base64 string
which can be used for SMTP-AUTH (which we won't deal here with either,
I'm sorry for the confusion).
Maybe you try a simple encode_base64($pass) for auth with sieve?
