myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2 '(which is send using port)

It's more reliable because it writes the email to file (usually C:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup) and IIS's SMTP server checks the folder for new mail and will retry if it fails the first time. The catch is you have to set up SMTP within the IIS snap in.
