Re: Authentication Required

The web server I am using now requires authentication when sending out emails. I am sending out mass emails

Sending emails over a web server? now requires authentication? mass emails? Relaying denied? Outlook Express?

The picture that comes to mind immediately is that of a clueless spammer.

What the heck are you doing? Why don't you send your mails over a proper Mail Transport Agent, administered by somebody who got the basics?

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

Perhaps not so clueless .. M$ Internet Information Server (IIS) has 3 services built-in: HTTP FTP SMTP So, typically, in a small MS environment, the web server IS the SMTP server. More typically, since servers are administered via the IIS console, which is thought of as the "web server". "As you get older three things happen.

I'm not sending spam. I created an email program that attaches local files on my hard drive and sends them to perspective clients daily. It's easier than uploading the files daily to the web server.	[reply]
