It turns out that the passwd.client file needed to be adjusted because
of the way that Google has multiple aliases for their smtp.gmail.com
host.  If I try sending mail to
"smtp.gmail.com" it may get handled by
"gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com"

 So, instead of a single value for the host portion like

smtp.gmail.com:greg.rundlett-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org:password

I used wildcards instead:

*.google.com:greg.rundlett-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org:password
*.gmail.com:greg.rundlett-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org:password
