This is a new thread to continue the discussion from an earlier topic. Please see topic http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=4608&PN=2 - Problems with W3 Jmail Component  

I know there are some very talented developers out there reading this forum who can answer the question on how to make the JMail component of the forum authenticate with the SMTP server by sendng the user's login credentials.

I have attempted to update some information in the commom.asp page as well as the other email pages in the forum.

If you can help, please post reply.  -Borg- where ya at?

I will tell you how I wound up having to do it, I had to add the email address as a trusted user. Depending on the mail server that you are using. It works okay as long as your machine is never compromised I guess. I reagular keep a very close eye on my network and so far there has not been any problem.

Hope this helped.

Okay - I would love to use something else that used authenication however I could not figure out how to get AspMail to work...

Well, finally!  I have the Jmail component working with SMTP server authentication.  I modified the code in the functions_send_mail.asp page so that the ServerCreateObject uses a different method.  The Jmail.SMTPMail was from an earlier verison of the W3 Jmail component and does not allow for authentication.  See code snippet below:

'JMail component
  Case "Jmail"

   'Create the e-mail server object
   'Here we change the method from Jmail.SMTPMail to Jmail.Message
   Set objJMail = Server.CreateObject("JMail.Message")

   With objJMail
     'Who the e-mail is sent to
    .From = strFromEmailAddress
    .FromName = strFromEmailName
    .AddRecipient strRecipientEmailAddress
    
    'Send SMTP Server authentication data
    .MailServerUserName = "username"
    .MailServerPassword = "password"

    'The subject of the e-mail
    .Subject = strSubject

    'Set the e-mail body format (BodyHTML=HTML Body=Text)
    If blnHTML = True Then
     .HTMLBody = strEmailBodyMessage & strEmailBodyAppendMessage
    Else
     .Body = strEmailBodyMessage & strEmailBodyAppendMessage
    End If

    'Importance of the e-mail
    .Priority = 3
    
    'Out going SMTP mail server address
     .Send("smtp-server.domain.com" )

    'Send the e-mail
    If NOT strOutgoingMailServer = "" Then .Execute
   End With

   'Close the server mail object
   Set objJMail = Nothing

I hope this helps those of you who were having trouble with authentication and Jmail.
