Yes, but this will require some debugging. Please open
/path-to-eventum/include/pear/Mail/smtp.php and find the following
lines:

            if (PEAR::isError($smtp->auth($this->username,
$this->password,
                              $method))) {
                return PEAR::raiseError('unable to authenticate to smtp
server');
            }

Change them to the following:

            $res = $smtp->auth($this->username, $this->password,
$method);
            if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
                var_dump($res);
                return PEAR::raiseError('unable to authenticate to smtp
server');
            }

Then manually run the mail queue process script again and send me any
output. It should output a nice object representation of that error,
which I will use to see what is going wrong here.
