hi

I am using System.Web.Mail.MailMessage with System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail to
send mail. now the my question is,

Is it compulsory to add fields smtpauthenticate, sendusername and
sendpassword fields to MailMessage Object????.

mm.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate",
"1")
mm.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername",
SMTPEmail)
mm.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword",
SMTPPassword)

Which fields will i have to add if my SMTP Server doesn't require
authentication.

None.
Just try once, and you will see, that the mail will be delivered...

You might also take a look at a post I made in response to another question
in this NG under the original posters' subject, "Send email through mapi".

Watch for text wrapping...

Please note that the above example is for DotNet 1.x
http://www.systemwebmail.com/

To see more information for 2.x, see http://www.systemnetmail.com/

I have found these two sites very useful.

HTH.
