Get "161: SMTP protocol error. 530 authentication required" when emailing in Automation Designer
Description
When trying to use the Automation Designer to send an e-mail, a "161: SMTP protocol error. 530 authentication required" error is given. The username and password is entered in the E-mail section of the options window and the send e-mail test works from there.
Cause
There is no way to specify username and password for e-mail actions in Automation Designer. The Automation Designer does not look at the e-mail section of the options windows. Those settings are for other features that use emailing.
