I'm trying to send an email message to outside of my domain
recipients. I get a relay not allowed message. I need to
authenticate.

Can this be done with this code? FYI, emails are sent fine if sent
within mycompany.com domain



Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolder)
'
Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMessage.Subject = "Test email"
objMessage.From = "me@newsgroup"
objMessage.To = "me@newsgroup"
objMessage.TextBody = "This is some sample message text"
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
strFileExt = objFSO.GetExtensionName(objFile.Path)
objMessage.AddAttachment objFile.Path
Next
'Configuration Info
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
'Name or IP of Remote SMTP Server
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") =
"myserver.mycompany.com"
'Server port (typically 25)
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") =
25
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Update
'==End remote SMTP server configuration section==
objMessage.Send

Here is how you could authenticate yourself to an external SMTP server:

const cdoBasic=1
schema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
With objEmail
.From = "James@newsgroup"
.To = "Jim@newsgroup"
.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@newsgroup"
.Item (schema & "smtpaccountname") = "James@newsgroup"
.Item (schema & "sendpassword") = "SomePassword"
End With
.Configuration.Fields.Update
.Send
End With
