Basic Authentication over TLS should be safe since the connection is encrypted before the authentication is passed. TLS is part of the initial handshake between client and server and everything that goes over the connection will then use the secure connection. So that shouldn't be a worry.
However, if you are already passing username and password and lUseSsl is set then that's already happening...
What are you doing in code and also what is the server's supported authentication type list?

I have a client using MS Exchange 2007. They're trying to email a report in Stonefield Query and get a "5.7.4 unrecognized authentication type" error message. We're using the SendMail method of either wwIPStuff or wwSMTP (which uses wwDotNetBridge), depending on whether they're using SSL or not. Googling this error suggests to uncheck "Only offer Basic Authentication after starting TLS", but that would cause the user and password to be sent in clear text so is not something they want to do.
Any suggestions?
