Vista - how to send email if my SMTP server requires authentication

i am trying to use a script to send email using the outgoing.verizon.net
smtp server, but i get the following message: "The server rejected the
sender address.e The server response was: 550 5.7.1 Authentication Required"

the authentication part of my script looks like this...

? objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
? ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendemailaddress") =
myemailaddres@xxxxxx
?
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") =
"myusername"

objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") =
"mypassword"
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Update

objEmail.Send

am i missing a login piece?

thanks
Bob

news:%23D80H7cVJHA.5520@xxxxxxYou've got the correct items in your script but I don't know why it fails to
work. Here the code I normally use for sending mail:
schema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
With objEmail
.From = "James@xxxxxx"
.To = "Jim@xxxxxx"
.Subject = "Test Mail"
.Textbody = "The quick brown fox " & Chr(10) & "jumps over the lazy dog"
.AddAttachment "d:\Testfile.txt"
With .Configuration.Fields
.Item (schema & "sendusing") = 2
.Item (schema & "smtpserver") = "mail.company.com"
.Item (schema & "smtpserverport") = 25
.Item (schema & "smtpauthenticate") = cdoBasic
.Item (schema & "sendusername") = "James@xxxxxx"
.Item (schema & "sendpassword") = "SomePassword"
End With
.Configuration.Fields.Update
.Send
End With

Thanks for the script.

I noticed in my outlook settings that my email address, as well as my user
name and password are used during authentication, that is why i send the
email address seperately. Since i am not that proficient with smpt, would
verizon be using my 'username' or my email address for authentication?

what does the smtpauthenticate do?

thanks

SMTP servers use your user name and password for authentication.
Just what exactly a "user name" is depends on the server setup.
Sometimes it's an EMail address and sometimes just a name. If
Outlook shows your user name as "verizon" then this is the string to use.

The sender's EMail address is not normally used for authentication.
However, many server check its validity to prevent people from
sending mail under a false sender name.

AFAIK, smtpauthenticate is used do define the method that
should be used. I don't know enough about CDO to be any
more precise.

Copying your Outlook settings into your VB Script code is a
good idea. It usually results in a successful send.
