sml:SendEMails without authentication?

[Mike Glamm]

I'm using sml:SendEMails in a SWP.  My SMTP server does not use authentication.  It seems like sml:SendEMails calls some Java method behind the scenes that always attempts to authenticate even though I do not specify user name and password.  I've tried setting the SMTP parameters via the TopBraid global configuration and also via sml:smtpServer.  Is it possible to use sml:SendEMails without authentication?  Error log below.

An unexpected error has occured.

Hi Mike,

I checked the source code of this module and it seems to bypass authentication if the user name is null. In case you know Java a bit, here is the relevant snippet:

        if (userName != null) {
            props.put(prefix + ".auth", "true");
            Authenticator auth = new Authenticator() {
                @Override
                protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                    return new PasswordAuthentication(userName, password);
                }
            };
            return Session.getInstance(props, auth);
        }
        else {
            props.put(prefix + ".auth", "false");
            return Session.getInstance(props);
        }

So yes, it should be possible without authentication, but I don't have a server where I could confirm that.
