SMTP NTLM Authentication

See more SMTP Examples

Demonstrates how to specify NTLM authentication for sending email via SMTP. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

mailman = chilkat.CkMailMan()

# Specify your particular mail server's SMTP settings.
mailman.put_SmtpHost("smtp.my_mail_server.com")
mailman.put_SmtpPort(587)
mailman.put_StartTLS(True)

# This assumes you know your SMTP server supports NTLM authentication.
# To explicitly request NTLM authentication, set the SmtpAuthMethod property = "ntlm".
mailman.put_SmtpAuthMethod("ntlm")

# Note: Normally you should avoid setting the SmtpAuthMethod.
# SMTP servers tell the connecting client the authentication methods it will accept when the initial connection is made.
# Chilkat will automatically use this information to select and use the most secure auth method supported by the server.

if (useCurrentWindowsUser == True):
    # If you are running on Windows, and you wish for the NTLM credentials of the current logged-on Windows user to be used,
    # set the username and password to the string "default"
    mailman.put_SmtpUsername("default")
    mailman.put_SmtpPassword("default")
else:
    # Explicitly specify the SMTP username/password
    # The SMTP username is your email account username, which is often your email address.
    mailman.put_SmtpUsername("your_smtp_username_or_email_address")
    mailman.put_SmtpPassword("your_password")
