I am writing an ASP app for an organization that wants an automated 

email notification system. Their ISP keeps all unused ports blocked, 

I've checked to see if port 25 is open and it isn't. My question is: Am 

I correct that in order to use CDONTS, I need to have them open the SMTP 

port 25 in their routers?



Thanks,

Port 25 is for incoming smtp traffic.  I assume you are using cdonts to 

send out email, in which case it does not need to be open.  If it is a 

shared server, you may not need to set anything. just write a test 

script and try sending an email to yourself.  If it is a dedicated 

server, set up the smtp service.  Then do the same.
