SMTP Authentication Problem

Hello,

I am trying to send an e-mail message via code using the following two
lines:

************************************************** **********************
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com";
SmtpMail.Send("Ra**@localhost.com", job.EmailAddress.Trim(), "Job
Results #" + job.JobID, msg);
************************************************** **********************

There is nothing inconsistent with any of the input I am assured of
this. My dilema sets in when I recieve the following error from
"smtp.mail.yahoo.com" :

************************************************** **********************'
The server rejected the sender address. The server response was: 530
authentication required - for help go to
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html
************************************************** **********************'

How would you use authentication to get past this obstacle?(Yes I did
look at the help page but found nothing useful)

Thanks,
Radi

Actually, there's discussion on this topic about two weeks ago.

Of all the links supplied this one seems to be the best reference:
http://www.systemwebmail.com/faq/3.8.aspx

You can find other hint on using System.Web.Mail in other pages of the site.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much! I certainly did not find this web page on google, but
now that I did I will be sure to use it.
