Hi,
I am trying to write an VB app, which has to send mails with Secure Password authentication for SMTP. Is it possible with MailBee SMTP Component. If yes, Can anybody post a sample code.

Thanks in advance,

Ramana

Yes, you can easily send emails with MailBee SMTP using SPA.

The sample code is shown below.

Dim objSMTP

Set objSMTP = CreateObject("MailBee.SMTP")

' Enable logging SMTP session into a file,
' useful for debugging
objSMTP.EnableLogging = True
objSMTP.LogFilePath = "C:\smtp_log.txt"
objSMTP.ClearLog

objSMTP.LicenseKey = "your key"

objSMTP.ServerName = "mail.server.com"

' Enable secure password authentication (SPA)
objSMTP.AuthMethod = 4

' Username and passsword for SPA
objSMTP.UserName = "user"
objSMTP.Password = "pass"

objSMTP.Message.FromAddr = "from@addr.com"
objSMTP.Message.ToAddr = "to@addr.com"
objSMTP.Message.Subject = "Hello"
objSMTP.Message.BodyText = "Message sent using SPA"

If objSMTP.Connect Then
objSMTP.Send
objSMTP.Disconnect
End If

This is because your SMTP server does not support particular type of SPA. You can try to send using another value for SMTP.AuthMethod property:

AuthMethod=3 enables secure CRAM-MD5 authentication

If this also doesn't work, your server does not support SPA. You can still use insecure authentication with
AuthMethod=2.
