    SMTP does not work with Encrypted File, only the POP3 server does. SMTP uses
    windows accounts.

    Answer 2: Enable SPA on the server
    Answer 3: You are probably not allowed to send. You can add the webserver's
    IP to the list of allowed computers to relay, or send logon credentials.

    Anonymous Access is an access option. Relay and access is NOT the same
    thing. Relay is when you send an email, access is to be able to communicate
    with the SMTP Server. Other SMTP servers must be able to communicate with
    your server, to send emails to your server, and therefore Anonymous Access
    is required. Other SMTP servers will however NOT relay using your server,
    and that is the difference.
