My SMTP server was just changed to require user authentication before it will send any mail messages. I have been unable to figure out if there's a way to plug in the user/password into coldfusion (via administrator or the cfmail tag itself). It appears impossible. Please say it isn't so! Making the cf server a trusted host is not an option - the administrator of the mail server says it can be masqueraded in an email header and then used as a spam relay (which is why authentication was turned on in the first place). Any ideas? Thanks! Cathy

Well, I found a java custom tag CFX_AuthSMTP in the custom tag gallery that does what I need it to do, but I don't know java very well and it doesn't do exactly what I require. The email client allows for sending attachments and I don't see how to do that through the custom tag. Also, it doesn't acknowledge the cc: field or multiple addresses on the "to" line. It's using some java ext packages and I do have it working in a minimal form. It comes with the source for the class file, but I'm sitting on a stump at this point do to my java ignorance :-) I guess I'll look at it closer tomorrow unless someone has a brilliant nugget of advice to throw my way?!
