SendMail

[kevin plummer]

Using the SMTP send mail procedure.

I also use Capesoft Mail server (very good BTW) and have it set to use authentication.

I can't seem to see where I can set a username and password as a paramter to the smtp server.

Will this be a problem?

Cheers,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

there are 2 kinds of mail server in the world. Those that require authentication to send a mail, and those that don't.

For the ones that do you must set .authuser and .authpassword properties.

For the ones that don't you must _not_ set these properties.

Unfortunately there's no way to really "know" which one you are talking to, so most systems get the user to specify - as in "my mail server requires me to log in to send mail".

Cheers
