Mail SMTP Passwords / Secure Login

[tma]

Is there a way to send username and passwords to a mail server using code
similar to below? My email server requires a username and password to send
mail.

Private Sub MailError(ByVal ErrorMessage As String)

Try

Dim _mm As New MailMessage

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.server.com"

_mm.

_mm.BodyFormat = Mail.MailFormat.Html

_mm.From = (e-mail address removed)

_mm.Subject = "IPN Error"

_mm.Body = "IPN Error " & "<br />" & vbCrLf & "<br />" & vbCrLf

_mm.To = "(e-mail address removed)"

_mm.Body = "Transaction time: " & DateTime.Now & vbCrLf & vbCrLf &
ErrorMessage

SmtpMail.Send(_mm)

Catch ex As Exception

Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message)

End Try

End Sub

Not with the built-in mailnamespace. CDO doesn't have this, which is what
hte mail namespaces are built on. There should be a number of free mail
components though that do not rely on CDO to send email that support SMTP
authentication. Check the components at www.asp.net and also look for SMTP
components at www.sourceforge.com

Hope this helps,

Actually you can with .NET 1.1 as it exposes the Fields property that allows
to define CDOSYS uinderlying properties :
