Really? You have property AuthType that you should set to smtpAuthAutoSelect. In that mode the component smartly detects the most secure AuthType possible. The ESMTP services returned in the EHLO reply may not always reflect all server cababilities, so the component tries even AuthTypes are not in the EHLO reply, but.. it doesn't fall back to no authentication, in that case you would get an error in OnRequestDone. > Also, can anyone tell me what the 'SignOn' property > is? >> From what I can tell this is where you enter you > domain name, but what if you are dialling up? Do you > use you service provider domain name? It's a custom HELO/EHLO string, if empty the component uses the hostname of the computer. It should be a valid fqdn but can be any string, it depends on the server, blanks are not allowed.
