I think your getting a secure email and terms like smtp authentication from my article confused.. smtp authentication all has to do with not having an open relay on your mail server and making sure spammers cant send emails using it

sending a secure email really has nothing to do with the email server involved. It has more to do with how you send/build the email message and what sort of security is invloved... PGP.. signed digital certificates on both ends... public and private keys.. etc etc

I dont really know anything about sending an email like that through ASP code. I have done it with outlook though. Myself and John Evans who works with CJWSoft each had to get signed keys... then each of us had to have parts of each others key or the emails could not be read back and forth.

It was a real pain the da butt to set it all up and kinda cool when it was all working... however we eventually stopped doing it because we really didnt care if anyone read our emails.

If I were you I would search google for terms like ASP. PGP, SIGNED, and CDOSYS together...

Here is an article I found about it doing a quick google search
