"Authentication failure" using TNMSMTP and Delphi 6

HI there,

I'm using delphi6 and the component TNMSMTP provided with Delphi 6 to send e-mails. My problem is that I get an exception saying "Authentication failed" even though my smtp-server doesn't require any authentication. I've even tried to put my authentication info in the UserId property of the TNMSMTP component, with no luck what so ever. I can use other programs/components to send mail over the same SMTP-server without providing any authentication info at all. Any ideas ?

best regards
