System.net.mail

Simple vb code, right?

Dim objSMTPAs New SmtpClient("mailserver.domain.com", 25)Dim objMsg asNew MailMessage("To@dotnet.itags.org.domain.com","from@dotnet.itags.org.domain.com","test","body testing")objSMTP.Send(objMsg)

When I run the above code, I get an authentication failure. I've tried using a non-default authentication like this:

Dim objMsgAs New MailMessage("from@dotnet.itags.org.domain.com","To@dotnet.itags.org.domain.com","Test","Body of message. Testing 1 2 3")Dim objSMTPAs New SmtpClient("mail.server.com") objSMTP.UseDefaultCredentials =False Dim objCredsAs New NetworkCredential objCreds.UserName ="username" objCreds.Password ="password" objSMTP.Credentials = objCreds objSMTP.Send(objMsg)

But I still get the same error. How do I give the mail server my username and password?

what about putting settings in the configuration file?

 <system.net><mailSettings> <smtp deliveryMethod="network"> <network host="mail.domain.com" userName="username OR DomainEmail" password="Password" defaultCredentials="true"/></smtp></mailSettings> </system.net>

have you tried like this ?

it's only slightly different

objSMTP.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username", "secret")
