asp_web_howto thread: I need help w/ email sending


Message #1 by "Monique Angelich" <mangelich@m...> on Fri, 24 Aug 2001 19:15:41 -0400

I need to send an email without using an installed asp object, and I 

have no way of finding out the server configurations.



A friend of mine is getting help from me to write a simple email sending 

program, but the hosting company she is trying to work with is not 

pleased at HER doing the development rather than them.



Is it POSSIBLE to send an email without an installed program?



HELP!!!

Moe

No. That said, a component called CDONTS is provided by Microsoft with IIS

v4 and v5. It requires the MS SMTP server to be installed though. You could

try instantiating a CDONTS.NewMail object, and if that works, the the

hosting company has installed it.



Cheers

Ken

Moe,



Do you know if the hosting company has SMTP running?



If so, you can use CDONTS to send email.  I do.

CDONTS should be installed by default with IIS

CDONTS example of email:



'Dim our var.

Dim ObjSendMail



'Create mail object.

Set ObjSendMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")



'Pass in values with a variable (var)

ObjSendMail.From = var

ObjSendMail.To = var

ObjSendMail.Cc = var

ObjSendMail.Bccs = var

ObjSendMail.Importance = var

ObjSendMail.Subject = var 

ObjSendMail.Body = var



'Send the mail.

ObjSendMail.Send



'Set to nothing to free resources.

Set ObjSendMail = Nothing



Hope this helps,



Mark

Hello.



I know nothing about the hosting company, I am helping a friend, and they

won't tell her squat.  They sound very unprofessional, and she is afraid to

let me call and ask them. I am working blind on this one. ::: sigh ::: can

you imagine a hosting company with a non-disclosure attitude?

You should bear in mind that most hosting companies disable CDONTS and

provide another mail object to PREMIUM subscribers.  CDONTS may or may not

work for you, but a quick sample script would let you know.
