Email Authentication Problem

Can anyone help?

I am using the Persits.MailSender object to send emails, and it works great. The only problem is that some mail servers are rejecting emails with the message:

Authentication is required to send mail as <[email protected]>.

Is there an authentication property associated with the mail object? If not, how do I get around this? Here's my code:

Mailer = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
Mailer.Host = "localhost"
Mailer.From = "[email protected]"
Mailer.AddAddress("[email protected]")
..
..
..
Mailer.Send()

The address I'm using is valid - it's the postmaster mailbox on your server/my domain - when I send a test email to my own address, it works fine, but if I send it to an address to bigpond.com, their mail server rejects it. Hotmail accounts put it in the Junk Email folder.


Don't I need an address from my current web domain in order for it to work? When I first used Persits.MailSender, I got errors if I used other email addresses from other domains for the Mailer.From property.
