http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cdosys/html/_cdosys_schema_configuration.asp[^] check that site out. it's not C#, or even .Net, but in the TOC on the left, it will list the various fields that can be used. The "sendusing" field can be set as such: MailMessage myMessage = new MailMessage(); myMessage.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"] = "1"; // for a local SMTP server myMessage.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"] = "2"; // for a remote SMTP server The authentication for your outgoing mail server can be set with other fields in this same manner. Just change "sendusing" at the end of the indexer to one of the other fields and assign it the value it needs. Then last, but not least, set the server like normal (SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "server") and then send it on it's way. Hope this helps!

I never use the built in mail routines, the configuration is too easily hosed on the server. I also use OpenSmtp for my sites: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensmtp-net/[^] Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com - Now with "Recommendation" postings www.JokesTricksAndStuff.com www.MyQuickPoll.com - Now with RSS Feed and Prizes www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com - Again :)

erm smtpserver got anything to do with microsoft outlook or outlook express? Chris

[Rocky Moore]

No, it is an open source library written in C# to send mail. Easy to use and does not rely on settings on the server, just include the library and send messages.
