Email question for Ron de Bruin?

[Steph]

Ron,

Sorry, but I have another question regarding your CDO code to send emails.
At a prior company, I was using your code to send users automated emails. I
loved it because I didn't get prompted, and the email could come from a
fictitious user (like (e-mail address removed)). Well, with the new company,
the email server is locked to disallow emails coming directly from the smtp
server (I think). either way, when I enter the smtp server in the code, I
get an error. I talked to the IT dept, and they said they cannot unlock
that because of security reasons that other users may find. So, my question
is this - I am not so worried about not getting a prompt. Is there any
other way to be able to send a user an email using a fictitious "From" like
(e-mail address removed)?

Hi Steph

Can't you use

Note from my site :

When you also get the Authentication Required Error you can add this three lines.
..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "username"
..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "password

Hi Ron. My apologies. Is that a somewhat recent update to your site? I
guess I should have checked back before I sent the question! That worked
perfectly. Thank you. I'm hoping I can make this addition to your addin
code? I absolutely love your add-in!!
