| Platform SDK: CDO for Windows 2000 |
When sending or posting messages over the network, many SMTP and NNTP services require clients to authenticate themselves. To configure a Message object for authentication, perform the following steps:
For NNTP, set the http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/postusername and http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/postpassword fields.
When using the NTLM authentication mechanism, the current process and/or thread's security context is used.
