SMTP Authentication

[Kingkumar]

Hi,
I am using smtp server in my vb.net winforms and using following two lines for the authentication purpose

email.Fields("

http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")

= Username
email.Fields("

http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword")

= Password

i have a function which is called every time we want to send the email ( which is generally 120-200 emails each time the application is run )

Now the question i have is that if i want to authenticate teh smtp server only once and keep on sending emails until all the mails are sent IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO THAT? . (right now for each email it does authenticate)

THANKS

Hi Kingreen
Have you resolved this problem.
I have a similar problem in that my one smtp does not require authentication and I can send emails via VBNET with that, but I wish to use another smtp which requires authentication and I cannot get it to send emails with the same program code. I do not know how to set authentication.

MyMessage.From = txtFromEmail.Text
MyMessage.Subject = txtSubject.Text
MyMessage.Body = txtMessage.Text
MyMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html

Response = MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to send email to all the addresses in " & vbCrLf & dbCn.DataSource & vbCrLf & " from " & txtFromEmail.Text & vbCrLf & " with attachment " & vbCrLf & txtAttachment.Text, MsgBoxStyle.YesNo)
If Response = vbNo Then Exit Sub

Hi johnee2

Here is my code (partly):

MyMessage.Attachments.Add(myAttachment)
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.odendaal.com"

Do While drClients.Read
drClients.Read()
Clientname = drClients.Item("Clientname").ToString
HisEmail = drClients.Item("email").ToString
MyMessage.To = HisEmail
SmtpMail.Send(MyMessage)
lblNote.Text = "Sending email to " & Clientname
Loop
dbCn.Close()
lblNote.Text = "All email was sent successfully"

Thanks

Add these two lines of code in the current code and you would be able to send the emails using the current code
The email is the ea
email.Fields("

http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")

= Username
email.Fields("

http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword")

= Password

Hi Kingreen

I have tried that - but maybe I have had the url incorrectly specified - would the correct one be :

email.Fields("

http://mail.witbank.biz/cdo/configuration/sendusername")

= "myname"

Thanks
