I just setup the default SMTP virtual server on my testing server to test my mail scripts using CDO.

I recieve the following error when testing a mail script:
"Fields update failed. For further information, examine the status property of individual field objects."

Is anyone familiar with this error message? I know the mail script works because tested the script on remote production server and it runs fine. So, my assumption is either I have configured something incorrectly with the SMTP server? I'm not sure what to check?

Here is the code for the script:
<%
sch = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
mailbody = "" & "<strong>" & Request.Form("name") & " " & " has sent the following request:" & "</strong>" & "" & "<br>" & "<br>"
mailbody = mailbody & "" & "Email: " & Request.Form("email") & "<br>" & "<br>" & "Site URL: " & Request.Form("siteURL") & "<br>" & "<br>" & "Phone Number: " & Request.Form("phone") & "<br>" & "<br>" & "Subject: " & Request.Form("subject") & "<br>" & "<br>" & "Message: " & Replace(Request.Form("message"), VbCrLf, "<br>") & ""

Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

With cdoConfig.Fields
.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 25 ' cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(sch & "smtpserver") = "dwayne-server"
.update
End With

Set cdoMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

With cdoMessage
Set .Configuration = cdoConfig
.From = "[email protected]"
.To = "[email protected]"
.Subject = "Dwayne-Epps-website-response"
.HTMLBody = mailbody
.Send
End With

Set cdoMessage = Nothing
Set cdoConfig = Nothing
%>

I'm wondering if the problem could be a firmware upgrade needed for the router related to the port forwarding not working properly?

If anyone has encountered the above error ans has any suggestions, it would be appreciated. Thank you.

This doesn't appear to be a CDO problem. I think this is a SMTP configuration problem or my ISP is blocking port 25.

I am trying to troubleshoot the problem. I was trying to connect to my server via telnet, but I'm not very knowledgeable with telnet.

I was trying: (replacing hostname with dwayne-server) my server name.
telnet hostname 25
it returns "connection lost"

I'm not sure if that means my ISP is blocking port 25 or what?

If anyone knows how I can troubleshoot my SMTP configuration to determine where the problem is, please let me know.

Oh, and I did try dropping a simple text file into the SMTP pickup folder to see if it would deliever to my email, but it immediately went to the badmail folder.

I'm at a loss?

Well, it took several days and a bottle of Excedrin, but I finally got it working. Thanks.
