Authenticated SMTP Failing if password contains Equal Sign

I'm getting an error message when trying to send email alerts from the switch if the authenticated SMTP password contains an equal sign. I have not done extensive testing to see if I can identify any other characters that cause this. I tested this on switch with 1.5.0 through 1.5.4 firmware versions.
Thank you

As it turns out this is apparently a bug with the ssmtp package itself. I'll dig around to try and find a patch and push it to the next release.
Btw affected characters are ":" and "=", so for now it would be best to remove these characters from your smtp password.
