I ran into that problem too. What I ended up doing was using
MIME::Lite with Authen::SASL, which required the addition of three new
config variables for Test::Smoke and minor modifications to its mail
support. I've attached a patch here which should get you in business
(I'm delinquent in sending this and a pile of other changes I needed
for VMS smoking to Abe).
The new variablles are smtp_auth, which is a boolean ('0' means don't
do authorization, '1' means do it); smtp_user and smtp_password are
strings with the username and password for your smtp server. N.B.
Not every smtp server will work with the mechanisms in use here, but I
found that it worked with one of the ones available to me and stopped
looking further.
Another caveat is that Test::Smoke will not configure these variables
for you -- you'll have to manually add them to smokecurrent_config or
whatever your config file is named. Also, you'll need to make sure to
select MIME::Lite as Test::Smoke's mail option.

If you can get rsync that's the easiest way to stay up-to-date; I
think there is an rsync for Windows. Of course there is git for
Windows -- I don't know if other Windows smokers have used it for that
or not. If you really mean snapshot as in a zipball with a static URL
but one that will always give you the latest of whatever branch you
are smoking, then I don't have a good answer as it looks like the
snapshots available from gitweb are all tied to a commit ID so you
have to know the latest commit. Ah, wait, github's mirror looks like
it's staying up-to-date now, so you can possibly use (for blead):
http://github.com/github/perl/zipball/blead
but that won't have the .patch file in it so it will be hard to know
what you're smoking unless you parse the name of the file it gives you
(which contains the commit ID).
