For authentication all you should need to do is fill in the cUsername and cPassword properties.

Several people have reported problems with Verizon's SMTP server - specifically the authentication. It appears Verizon is doing something non-standard with their auth, but I can't really check it out since I don't have an account with them.

OTOH, Verizon is the only provider that I've heard problems about with SMTP so I suspect it's something in their protocol handling. It is possible that they don't support basic auth or have it disabled so that hte login fails.

What is the error message you get? Is it a login error or what?

If anybody wants to pass me account info temporarily I'll take a look at it. Send me private email if you want to do this...

>>I'm using wwIPstuff’s sendmail()from a VFP app. This has worked fine until I changed my email provider from Earthlink to Verizon. Testing with my email client and talking to Verizon I verified that Verizon requires authentication whereas Earthlink does not. So I added the cUsername and cPassword properties (plus, of course, the new cMailServer property) for Verizon, but sendmail() still failed - giving a 'relay' error. I've read the relevant UT threads on this, plus Rick Strahl's Wiki post (http://www.west-wind.com/wiki/kb.wiki?wc~EmailRelayingDenied), but am still having problems.

>>(a) If I must make a POP3 connection first, how would I best do this and can this be done using wwIPstuff? Would I be making a pop3 connection to the smtp server?
>>
>>(b) Is it possible that wwIPstuff's sendmail() simply won't work with the Verizon mail server?
