Hi Kal,

Ignore the advice to uninstall IMF.

You need to send authenticated e-mail.

You can do this either with Windows authentication (e.g. the service account
or app pool account running your application), or you can pass the
credentials to the SMTP server. Both methods can be done with CDOSYS.

There is an excellent FAQ at SystemWebMail.com with a good topic on sending
authenticated e-mail to your SMTP server.
http://www.systemwebmail.com/faq/3.8.aspx

One thing missing from that faq: if you set smtpauthenticate to "2" then
you are using Windows Authentication.
