smtp.send fail

I posted a problem with sending email via smtp using Dot Net 2.0

I was told to look at adding authentication to my web.config file; I added
the following:

authenticationMode="SSL"

I put this in my web.config mail settings and when I put the mouse
over it, i get the following message:

"The authenticationMode attribute is not declared"

Can you please help?

The entire web.config system.net......

<system.net>

<mailSettings>

<smtp from="abc@dotnet.itags.org.gmail.com">

<network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" password="secret" userName="abc"
authenticationMode="SSL"/>

</smtp>

</mailSettings>

</system.net>That's not the kind of authentication needed to send authenticated email.

Get rid of that web.config entry and see :

http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/4.2.aspx
...for sample code to send authenticated email.

He is using a custom solution I wrote at my blog, and not realizing it was a
custom solution, and trying to mix/match elements.

OP,
Please see the note above. My solution cannot be intermixed with original
DotNet config setup.
