I would like to know how you guys are handling this issue......

Some ISP's are now requiring authentication when using SMTP (such as
orcsweb)

while others are refusing to accept plain text authentication
(charter.net for instance) but will send the SMTP mail without providing
authentication

while others such as Comcast I cannot seem to accept anything.

What is a programmer to do to send SMTP mail consistently?
 
Hi,

Probably the best solution is to create web service to send messages
to you.

Hi there,

My email works with the following piece of code:

//The following 3 lines of codes necessary if smtp server needs authenticatio
mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", "1"); //basic authentication for smtp serve
mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", "your_username"); //set your username here for the smtp serve
mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", "your_password"); //set your password for the smtp server
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.broadband.rogers.com"; //actual
smtp server name goes here

It will definitely solve your problem. Good luck!!
