Sending mail by SMTP with no password

[tg2003]

Hi,

I'm trying to send a mail by SMTP client. It works for me, but the problem that I must specify a password of the sender.
How can I send it without specifying password? I think it should be possible.

Dim msg As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage()
msg.To.Add("me@mycompany.com")
msg.From = New MailAddress("someone@mycompany.com", "Someone", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
msg.Subject = "subject"
msg.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
msg.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
msg.Priority = MailPriority.High
msg.IsBodyHtml = True

Dim plainView As AlternateView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(body, Nothing, "text/plain")

Dim client As New SmtpClient()
[b]client.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("me@company.com", "mypassword")[/b]
client.Port = CInt(txtPort.Text)
client.Host = txtSMTPserver.Text
client.EnableSsl = False

client.Send(msg)

As I said - this code is works, but I try to avoid of specifying password ("NetworkCredential" line) .

Many thanks!

Here's how I do it:

'At the top of the code
Imports System.Web.Mail



Dim sm As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "server.name.here"

sm.To = "someone@address.com"
sm.From = "me@myaddress.com"
sm.Subject = "Subject line here"
sm.Body = "Body of the message here"
sm.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html

SmtpMail.Send(sm)
