;	[I"H+helo+ is the _HELO_ _domain_ that you'll dispatch mails from; see ;TI"*the discussion in the overview notes.;T@o;
;	[
I"CIf both of +user+ and +secret+ are given, SMTP authentication ;TI"Ewill be attempted using the AUTH command.  +authtype+ specifies ;TI">the type of authentication to attempt; it must be one of ;TI"J:login, :plain, and :cram_md5.  See the notes on SMTP Authentication ;TI"in the overview.;T@S;;
i;I"Block Usage;T@o;
;	[	I"FWhen this methods is called with a block, the newly-started SMTP ;TI"Dobject is yielded to the block, and automatically closed after ;TI"=the block call finishes.  Otherwise, it is the caller's ;TI"7responsibility to close the session when finished.;T@S;;
i;I"Example;T@o;
;	[I"9This is very similar to the class method SMTP.start.;T@o:RDoc::Markup::Verbatim;	[
I"require 'net/smtp'
;TI"2smtp = Net::SMTP.new('smtp.mail.server', 25)
;TI"Dsmtp.start(helo_domain, account, password, authtype) do |smtp|

;	[	I"?The primary use of this method (as opposed to SMTP.start) ;TI"?is probably to set debugging (#set_debug_output) or ESMTP ;TI"9(#esmtp=), which must be done before the session is ;TI"
started.;T@S;;
