Hello,

What may be the problem of sending email via my site.

I use something like :
(VB - on aspx page)

dim mail as new MailMessage
mail.from = support@mysite.com (this email is correct and configured on the
site).
mail.to = someonelese@somecompany.com (any correct email).
mail.body = "..."

mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1255)
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.myserver.com"
SmtpMail.Send(mail)
....
Then I get the message :
503 This mail server requires authentication ...


Thanks :)

503 This mail server requires authentication ...

This message, and ways to work round it, are all over Google:

....
also before sending I did :
mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
....
the rest of code is the same.

Thanks :)

Thanks,
I will check that out.

Still I don't understand why microsoft itself on its web site,
doesn't show all of the members of smtpMail (there is no clue for
NetorkCredentails,
even from and to are not known members).
see :

Thanks :)

It does.

(there is no clue for NetorkCredentails,

Credentials are members of the SmtpClient class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...edentials.aspx

even from and to are not known members).

From and To etc are members of the MailMessage class

Try this:

1.1 and 2.0 downloadable code.

It takes the smtp headaches out of smtp.
