how to use cfmail without specifying username and password??

Hi pp,

i have been trying to use the cfmail functionality to send and receive e-mails connecting to the smtp server of <MyUniversity>

i am creating a page where, at the end a e-mail has to be sent from <someone@univ.edu> to <user@univ.edu>

i am connecting with the univ server from the cf server to test whether the e-mails are delivered.

the e-mails are sent only if i mention the <Username> and <Password> fields belonging to the <someone@univ.edu>

for my test case i used my own id and the if i set the username and pwd, the e mails are sent, otherwise the emails are not getting delivered.

can someone suggest why this is happening and i have to make sure that at the end of launching the site, i dont have to get the username and password, because i will not be given access to it as a developer.

Please suggest me wat to do.

i am using the simple cfmail function.

<cfmail

            server="smtp.<univ>.edu"
            port="25"
            from="example@univ.edu"
            username="example@univ.edu"
            password="**********"
            to="receiver@univ.edu"
            subject="testing testing">

                   <testing the mail functionalities>

</cfmail>
