CDO mail probs

[ric stryker]

Hello everyone, Im ric and i'm just wondering why i still haven't receive a
single email eventhough i already added some items on the database. I used CDO
Mail component, running on IIS Server (for now...to be uploaded on an ASP
server), and ASP VBScript. I tried to test it locally using my IIS and it seems
that it doesn't work...any suggestions?

It is quite likely that you don't ahve it installed locally, so that's
why it isnt' working there, but one possiblity is that your sever
doesn't have the CDONTS object installed for sending mail. You may need
to use CDOSYS instead of CDONTS. This would be true if you were using a
Windows 2003 OS as your web server.

You may need to follow these directions locally to work with CODSYS:

But that won't work if your remote server doesn't work with it.

Check with your web host and see what email components that they support
on their server and report back here.

I already did the setting as you instructed (CODSYS), i also installed the
CDONTS and even the cdonts.dll on my system32 folder (i have it also registered
it if that's how you called it). Still, no emails. I also checked my web server
and yes they support CDONTS.

By the way, i'm testing my work locally using WINDOWS XP (IIS), ASP Vbscript,
with ACCESS as my database. Hope you can help me....thank you very much!:)

If your host supports CDONTS and email isnt' getting through when you
test remotely, then sometihing is wrong with either the web server, or
with the settings that you have provided. Please check the username
password and any port settings you ned to specify.

Also, I remotely suppose that it's possible that your web host is on a
blacklist and mail from their servers gets dropped by your incoming mail
server.

Thanks man! I reinstalled my IIS and followed the same steps you said earlier and it worked! One more question though, how do I get the contents the form be included on the email?

There are a number of extensions that can do this for you:

A freebie for CDO:

But there are commercial ones out there that can do more than basic
emailing:

And probably one over at [url]http://www.interaktonline.com/[/url] but I can't
readily see it right now.

I'm sure there are more, but can't think of them off the top of my head
right now.
