Please help SMTP server authentication

[igorsky]

Hello,

I am using System.Web.Mail.MailMessage method to send email
It works fine as long as SMTP server does not require authentication

Does any body now the way to authenticate SMTP server

Please help

As far as I know, the classes in System.Web.Mail do not support SMTP server authentication. You might want to resort to a richer 3rd party SMTP component. There's a free SMTP component in the .NET components section on this site. Not sure whether that supports authentication though, but it's worth a try.

I think you will find a solution for your problem here.

In fact that site, System.Web.Mail, OH MY!, probably has everything you would ever want to know about System.Web.Mail
