Instead of having my password in cleartext in a text file, I've
prefere to have it
commented out, so whenever reportbugs will need it, it will ask me for it.

As I've displayed in my initial post, namely:

SMTP error: authentication failed.  Try again.

Between these lines I input my password and then hit Enter.
