There seems to be a glitch in the smtplib.login() method... the above 
credentials decode in 'lukaszlukaszqazws194'... note that the user name 
is encoded twice.

Nothing wrong with your test, rather something odd going on with 
smtplib...

server = smtplib.SMTP( 'localhost', 10025 )
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.login( 'user', 'password' )

... results in "dXNlcgB1c2VyAHBhc3N3b3Jk" being send. Which, after 
decoding, looks like "useruserpassword". Note that the user name is 
there twice. Bad karma.

I'm not familiar enough with python to offer much help here. Your best 
bet is to contact the author of Newspipe and/or ask the owner of 
smtplib for some explanations.

Cheers,

R.
