As a separate note, accepting errors "silently" isn't really possible
here. If the server doesn't support AUTH, it's gonna bitch when you
toss AUTH at it. If it bitches, and you're running -v, you're gonna
see the bitch. If you're not running -v, you won't see it. Same
situation as with LAST.
However, the reply to AUTH ends up in the syslog (if --syslog is given) even
if fetchmail is not being run in verbose mode. Personally, I dislike the
noise it generates in the log files.
