Ask your hosting server people which STMP they use.  If it is Outlook,
just use the following as an action to your form.

<FORM name=3D"formmail" METHOD=3D"post"
ACTION=3D"mailto:nusratsarwar@y...?subject=3DMail Subject"
enctype=3D"text/plain">

Sendmail is the name of a common SMTP mail server that runs on *nix

It is *not* an object like CDONTS. If you're running on Linux, then I assume
you are using ChilliSoft or similar to host the ASP pages. Chilisoft does
not support COM objects as far as I know. You will have to consult the
documentation to see what SMTP objects they provide for you to create
messages and send them to the SMTP server.

Cheers
Ken

Hi Nusrat,

If your host is running Linux, maybe it would be easier for you to look 
into using PHP or Perl just to send the mails, both are commonly available 
on Linux/Apache hosts and will have no problems using sendmail.  PHP is 
same concept as ASP, easy to learn and has mail functions.  I'm sure 
you'll find many examples of mailing data from a MySql database using PHP 
or Perl on the internet.

Take a look at www.php.net or www.cpan.org for Perl.
HTH
Phil

Hi Nusrat,

The truth is I have no idea how to use sendmail from ASP on Linux.  I only 
made the suggestion coz PHP is so easy to send mail from.  So I was just 
thinking maybe you could have a PHP page with just the mail function in it 
and then redirect to that page from your ASP when you want to do the 
mail.  You could POST or QueryString the data to that page.  For example 
if you used Response.Redirect "mailpage.php?
ad=recipient@s...&sub=Subject&msg=Message" then your PHP page would 
just be:
<?php
mail($ad, $sub, $msg);
header("Location: theAspPage.asp"); // to redirect back to ASP
?> and that's it!

I can appreciate that you want to do it in ASP, but if don't have much 
time then maybe an hour spent trying PHP or Perl will save you a lot of 
hassle...

Anyway, its up to you of course :-)
Rgds
Phil
