I was getting this message generated from my pprtal when I tried to send an email and I thought it was due to my ISP blocking port 25. So I asked my ISP to not block this port for my account and I still received the same message. I looked at the source code in globals.vb responsible for sending email via SMTP and changed the code as follows:


If SmtpUsername <> "" And SmtpPassword <> "" Then
objMail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", 1)
objMail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", SmtpUsername)
objMail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", SmtpPassword)
'objMail.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
'objMail.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = SmtpUsername
'objMail.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = SmtpPassword
End If

The commented lines represent the original code. This eliminated the error message and the email was indeed sent to me through my ISP account.

Core team: Please consider changing the code in 3.0.9 accordingly, it seems to work where the original code did not.

Thanks,
