Password Property


The password of the user account on the mail server to be used for ESMTP authentication during connection (if AuthMethod>0).

If AuthMethod property has default value (AuthMethod=0), this property is not used.

To avoid sending password as clear text, set AuthMethod=3. This will enable secure CRAM-MD5 authentication. However, many SMTP servers do not support it. See AuthMethod property reference for details.


Value Type: String
Parameters: None 

Usage example:

Dim Mailer
'Using visual basic to create object
Set Mailer = CreateObject("MailBee.SMTP")
'Using ASP to create object
'Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.SMTP")
'In ASP use Response.Write instead of MsgBox
Mailer.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"
Mailer.ServerName = "mailserver.com"
Mailer.UserName = "MyName"
Mailer.Password = "MyPassword"
Mailer.AuthMethod = 3 ' Using CRAM-MD5 secure authentication
Mailer.Connect
If Mailer.Connected Then
  MsgBox "Connected using secure ESMTP authentication"
  Mailer.Disconnect
End If
