Is there a way to send mails using a SMTP-Server where I have to log on
using username and password? When I try an SMTP-Server that doesn't need
authentication the samples from ASInet work, but I can't find a way to
authenticate when I create the oSMTPclient-object.

The communication with the SMTP-Server is the following:

Info: Socket created succesfully
Info: Successfully connected to relay2.Austria.EU.net
Info: Server response: 220 relay2.austria.eu.net ESMTP Sendmail ; Sat, 29
Dec 2001 12:14:51 +0100 (MET)
Info: Sending: HELO nowhere.com
Info: Server response: 250 relay2.austria.eu.net Hello [217.113.99.138],
pleased to meet you
Info: Sending: MAIL FROM:a.pongratz@ap-soft.at
Info: Server response: 501 5.1.8 a.pongratz@ap-soft.at... illegal MAIL FROM:
a.pongratz@ap-soft.at
Error: Unexpected response from server 5
Message transmission failed
Info: Sending: QUIT

Andreas,

I don't know if this helps you...
> Info: Server response: 501 5.1.8 a.pongratz@ap-soft.at... illegal MAIL FROM:
> a.pongratz@ap-soft.at

501 means: syntax error in parameters or arguments.

but AFAIK it should be:

MAIL FROM:<your.email@dres.at>

note the "<" and the ">" around the emailadres.

AFAIK there is no password required in smtp.

Andreas,
Yes, some mail servers require a password for SMTP. If the mail
client cannot handle this, you might want to try to fool the
server using POP before SMTP. Most servers are happy with it.

Happy New Year!

Have read about it (POP before SMTP). But never realised it for Auth.SMTP.

Nice info Gernot. Thanx

Hi Gernot!

Nice idea, but I already solved my problem by using SEE4XB from
www.marshallsoft.com. This library supports smtp-authentication among other
nice features.
