Subject: [BUG] 1.8.previews smtp.rb auth

Hi,
I think that smtp auth in the 1.8 series rubies has a small bug. smtp.rb
checks respond_to?(auth_method), but the relevant auth methods are
now private, and so the check always returns false, raising an ArgumentError
since the "includePriv" argument of respond_to? is not being set.

In 1.6.8, these methods were public, so that the check worked ok.
Below is a small patch, in case that makes things any
easier.
