I need to generate customized emails in response to user inputs to my web 

site.   I haven't yet found any method to construct the email and send it 

on to the receipient.  I'm hosted on a WinNT environment and I'm not 

looking for a commerical package,  just a generic method of doing this 

within an ASP page. 



For example,  subscribing to this message board,  where I entered my email 

address,  I got the following web page:



  "Your membership request has been processed.



  A confirmation message has been sent by email to the email address you 

  gave. When you reply to this message and confirm your membership you

  will become a full member of this mailing list. Until you confirm, 

  you  will not have access to this mailing list. "



And then a 'customized' email was send to me as follows:



   Subj:  Confirmation of Subscription to asp_discuss 

   Date:  11/18/01 5:14:41 PM Pacific Standard Time 

   From:    ListManager-confirm-673465N@p... (asp_discuss

            Confirmation from ListManager)

   Reply-to: ListManager-confirm-673465N@p... (asp_discuss   

            Confirmation from ListManager)

   To:    mcvayhdm@a...

 

It is this kind of email that I need to know how to launch.



Thanks

Howard

Provided your host has not turned off CDONTS, this would be your answer.

You have to remember that many hosting companies either completely turn off

CDONTS or use another component that they require additional payment to

"turn on" the functionality.
