What does your host support? Do they have JMail, and / or CDONTS support?

I would like to hope that they would have it somewhere in their FAQ's, or info in their hosting plans or tech support areas. If not you might need to check with their tech support.

You need to know what is supported so you can make the correct connection and write the script accordingly.

Yeah, that's an email failure notification. Unfortunately I can't read the language. Are you trying to run this script from your home computer? Or are you trying to run this from a hosted website?

yes i'm trying to run this script from home computer

I'm assuming you have IIS installed. What operating system? I know NT/Win2K/Win2k3 servers natively support CDONTS, but I'm not sure about the home operating systems. I'll have to check.

that's right I have iis and win 2003. from what you've written I should use cdonts but

Quote:

How about CDONTs?

Microsoft has discontinued the use of CDONTs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003. If you have used CDONTs in your ASP applications, you should update the code and use the new CDO technology.

this is from w3schools.

I did a real quick check of IIS and there is a virtual SMTP server built in. Problem I have is that I've never needed to use it and would have to start from square one and read the help files and search for tutorials on the internet. You need an SMTP server to send mail and it looks like that's the ticket. You probably will have to use CDO like your initial script is set up, but I'm not sure how it works with the virtual SMTP server.

Hopefully someone else has done this and will be able to offer additional advice. At this point I'm as clueless as you are. I've only ever worked from servers that had mail SMTP programs like Exchange already built in..

Just saw your post. OK -- guess we just need to figure out how to get your CDO script to work with your server. It still probably has something to do with the virtual SMTP server I refered to.

thanks <lol>

but after running code

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

Set objMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")

Set objConfig = createobject("cdo.configuration")
Set Flds = objConfig.Fields
With Flds
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "localhost"
.Update
End With
Set objMail.Configuration = objConfig
objMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
objMail.From="bullet5@wp.pl"
objMail.To="bullet5@wp.pl"
objMail.TextBody="This is a message."

objMail.Send

2. Set objMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
4. Set objConfig = createobject("cdo.configuration")
5. Set Flds = objConfig.Fields
6. With Flds
7. .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
8. .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "localhost"
9. .Update
10. End With
11. Set objMail.Configuration = objConfig
12. objMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
13. objMail.From="bullet5@wp.pl"
14. objMail.To="bullet5@wp.pl"
15. objMail.TextBody="This is a message."
17. objMail.Send

I'm receiving the same email as before. Delivery Status Notification (Failure). in this mail I'm also receiving my message but as an attachment.
