Thanks Gustav.  And Stuart.  I'll forward to the client who can forward to
his network guy and I'll report back.

Hi Rocky

That means you must supply a username and a password.
Study Stuart's explanation - it tells all about this.

However, since your old code stopped working, the case may exactly be that
the host of the SMTP server you use has changed how to address it - before
authentication was not needed, now it is.

This is one of the reasons why I suggest in some cases to run your own SMTP
server which you will have in full control. Another is the change the SMTP
server to that of the ISP which the client uses. Such an SMTP server runs
normally without authentication for those on the same network as it "knows"
who the sender is ("he is on my network").

If you cannot use another SMTP server, you will have to obtain user
credentials and authentication method from the admin of the SMTP server you
currently use.

Apparently I need to "authenticate my outgoing server"  whatever the hell
that means.
