authentication problems sending mail (unable to relay)

[Rene]

Hi all

i need some help. i try to send mail with the following code.

Private Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.Click
Dim mailMsg As New MailMessage
mailMsg.From = re*******@netradox.com
mailMsg.To = in**@netradox.com
mailMsg.Subject = "Testmail vom Webforum"
mailMsg.Body = "some body text"
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"
SmtpMail.SmtpServer()
Try
SmtpMail.Send(mailMsg)
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
End Module

it works fine as long as i use a user which is located in ADS and the target address is on the same server.

if i try to send mail with the same account in outlook it works fine as long as i set the prperty "my server requires authentication" if i do not set this flag the email is not sent out with the message "unable to relay".

now my question is it possible to set this property within the code somehow or how to solve this?

thank you in advance
