Hi

I'm creating a feedback form for an intranet site using ASP and CDONTS
to send the mail. In testing it, it would appear that CDONTS is a little bit
tempramental, only sending emails when it wants to.  Sometimes it will send
the email, other times it has an error showing up on line 22 of the script.
This line is:

          objMail.Send

which is the line that sends the email. The error number given is error
'80070020'.  There's no rhyme or reason in this - sometimes the sending ASP
page will work first time, others it needs refreshing anything up to 7 or 8
times before it sends the email. Does anyone know what that error is, and
most importantly how to solve it? I've searched all over the internet, and
there's nothing about it anywhere - not even on the Microsoft site.

Cheers
Jon Sidnell

Thanks for that.  I've updated the code to use CDO instead of CDONTS and it
is more reliable, but still too frequently throws up the same error.  This
time, the error is described a bit more:

"CDO.Message.1 error '80070020' 

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process. 

/sendcomments.asp, line 22 "

My email code is:

   Dim objMail
   Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
   
   objMail.From = FromAddress
   objMail.Subject = "Intranet Feedback: " & UserSubject
   objMail.To = "jon.sidnell@b..."
   objMail.TextBody = "From: " & FromName & vbcrlf&_
     UserComments
   
   objMail.Send
   set objMail = nothing

Is there anything people can see wrong with that code, or is this a problem
that needs sorting server-side?

Jon

I think this is a known but yet undocumented bug if submitting messages
via the local pickup very quickly. Basically each mail you submit to the
pickup dir creates a .EML file with a unique ID. Issue is that under
stress the ID is not unique.

Workaround is to use the SMTP server port to submit the message. Check
another post I just made a couple of minutes ago for a code snippet.
