[Nant-users] nant mail task error - transport error code-0x80040217

[Ankita K. <ank...@pe...>]

I am using nant to do a daily build
My smtp server has authentication enabled
So I used "user" and "password" attributes in
the mail task  like in Ant:-

<target name="buildsuccess">
<mail failonerror="false" mailhost="smtp.persistent.co.in" subject="BUILD
SUCCESSFUL :-) " user="..." password="..."
tolist="ank...@pe..."
    from="pin...@pe..." >
    <attachments>
    <include name="F:\myfolder\MSFT\build.log"/>
    </attachments>
    <message>
         **************************************************
         Completed Pines Build

         Build Status		: BUILD SUCCESSFUL
         Attached files		: build.log
         **************************************************

    </message>
 </mail>
</target>

Output:-
buildsuccess:
[mail] Sending mail to ank...@pe...
The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code
was 0
x80040217. The server response was not available


Are the "user " and "password" attributes ignored here in Nant?
What cud be the possible soln ?
