asp_cdo thread: cdonts mail sitting in queue folder
Message #1 by "Brandon, Blithe" <bbrandon@i...> on Tue, 5 Dec 2000 18:38:46 -0800

I have used CDONTS mail before with much success at my previous job, but
right now my test emails are sitting in the Queue folder under mailroot.
Is this because something hasn't been configured properly?
Does anyone have any suggests for the troubleshooting steps. I'm really not
sure what I should look for.
THANKS

I can't be sure without seeing your code, but one of the issues that I had
in the past was with the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the web server.
Most SMTP servers are designed to do a reverse DNS lookup on any SMTP
connection to help detect spammers. If your box does not have a Fully
Qualified Domain Name, your mail might be refused by the servers you are
trying to send it to.
You might try configuring your SMTP services on your server to use ANOTHER
server as the relay agent (this is the "Smart Host" configuration). I have
been able to track down problems in that way as well.
I would be happy to help, please post your code and we can take a look at
it. Usually, issues with CDONTS are network related. HOWEVER, I have seen
problems with the CDONTS.dll from a versioning standpoint. For instance, if
you are using Exchange 5.5 on your network, you will need to get the
CDONTS.dll off of your Exchange server and register it on your IIS box, as
version 5.0 ships with the option pack. This issue is of course not
applicable if you are using 2000 Server.
Again, I would be happy to help.

Thanks John. I looked into items you suggested and now have my messages
reporting that they can't be delivered and moved into badmail. A large step
ahead.
I have found an article in TechNet and will be reading up and verifying this
particular server has been properly configured.
Here is the link to the article.
http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/iis/mail.asp
Here is my code, as you can see it's just a simple test page.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT">
<%
Dim objNewMail
Set objNewMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objNewMail.Send "blithe.brandon@i...",
"blithe.brandon@i...", "Testing", "Testing CDONTS", 2
Set objNewMail = Nothing
%>
</SCRIPT>
Thanks for your suggestions. I will let you know how things go.

Hi Brandon,
Great! Glad you are making headway. I use a slightly different syntax with
my pages:
objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objMail.To = "john.hudak@w..."
objMail.Body = "This is a test."
objMail.Subject = "Test Mail"
objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing
You might want to give it a shot, I have seen stranger things happen! But,
as I said before, most of the CDONTS problems that I have encountered have
been network related or config problems on the SMTP service.
Thanks!
