I am a freelancing ASP (using vbScript) and DHTML (using JavaScript) 
developer and I bought the ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference over 18 months 
ago when I moved from ASP 2.0, but never really found the need to use 
these forums until now.  I hope that someone may be of assistance in 
helping me solve the following scenario scripted in vbScript.

This is the configuration object instantiated within the 
Application_OnStart event of global.asa:

'START SNIPPET

	'----- CDO for Win2K Mail Configuration ---------------------------
---------
Set Application("pdtCfg") = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

With Application("pdtCfg").Fields

	'----- Remark following line for offline, unremark for online -----
---------
	.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort

	'----- Remark following line for online, unremark for offline -----
---------
	'.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPickup

	'----- Enter mail server and authentication method, as well as 
timeout -----
	.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "valid-email-server"
	.Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoAnonymous
	.Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 20

	'----- Pickup directory for offline messages, remark for online ---
---------
	'.Item(cdoSMTPServerPickUpDirectory) = "D:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup"

	'----- Update configuration ---------------------------------------
---------
	.Update

End With

'END SNIPPET

The above configuration is called when sending a mail by using:

'START SNIPPET

	'----- Load application level configuration for mail --------------
---------
	objMsg.Configuration = Application("pdtCfg")

'END SNIPPET

Right after objMsg has been instantiated as a "CDO.Message" object.  The 
error I get every time the page tries to send an email is:

error '80040211' 
/ssi/subs.asp, line 924

Line 924 is objMsg.Send
It worked perfectly a few times - but then all of a sudden it started 
giving this error each time the page tries to send mail.  I do not have 
physical access to the server, and the Admin's are an arrogant bunch.  
Could anyone inform me on what that error would mean? How it can be 
repaired? Any tips?

Thanks in advance,
Pierre du Toit.

K, I think the problem was that the mail server i was using was down... 
its working fine again... but I think you will occasionally see me drop by 
here and give my 2p worth ;)
