This should have been corrected by the hg update.  But update only
changes the source code - you still have to rebuild the command with
  cd $PLAN9/src/cmd/upas/smtp
  mk smtp.install

If the login to gmail smtp server is not successful, smtp just exits
quietly.

Since you are using 128.141.146.215 as the server name, you have to
use 'server=128.141.146.215' instead of 'server=bluestar' in the
factotum entry.
