[Lasse Edsvik]

CDO/CDONTS?

i cant configure it to send with no authentication.

I don't think CDO.Message supports that. The commercial version of ASPEmail
does (http://www.aspemail.com/)

i cant configure it to send with no authentication. Something like below should work.

Note that CDO is the -backbone- component for Outlook express and for
Exchange (serverside). So, if any mail feature that Outlook Express
supports, can be programmed by you.

code below is non-tested but should be working.

Set myCDO = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
with cdoConfig.fields
.item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing").value =
2

..item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver").value =
"192.168.0.7"

..item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate").val
ue = 1 ' use clear text authenticate

..item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword").value =
"mypassword"

..item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername").value =
"yourusername"
.update
End With

Wow, I stand corrected, thanks Egbert! Now off to update all the FAQ
articles that state CDO is incapable of outgoing auth...

CDO rocks!
But if you state that in the FAQ, if you have time, check the code :) I
might have forgotten something.

This is a Type Library that allows you to use named constants. Beats
remembering the number and/or hex values for all the parameters...

Sure, if you want a bunch of statements like this:

CONST cdoBlahBlah = 1
CONST cdoSomethingElse = 5
CONST cdoAnotherThing = 0xH0004
....

Or, if you want to memorize the value for each and know without question
what it means (note that this makes your code much more cryptic).

Or, if you want to use the more verbose, and slightly misleading, URL style,
e.g.

Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

cdoConfig.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendus
ing") = 2

(But you still have to remember what 2 means! Does that mean local pickup,
or use a specific smtp server?)

You seem to be troubled by the fact that you might have to memorize that
metadata tag? Not sure why you might think that; I certainly don't have it
memorized. You can put that metadata tag in a text file, somewhere easy to
reach, and just copy and paste. Or you can just grab it from
http://www.aspfaq.com/2026 whenever you need it.
