# To explicitly request NTLM authentication, set the SmtpAuthMethod property = "ntlm".

# 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.
