I have been trying to get the email option to work when sending a form. I have reviewed:

http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1975

and

http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4497

The form seems to work fine, but I am not getting an email message. It gives me the response page and there are errors in the BadMail directory.

I talked to the guy that set up our internal web server because I wasn't sure if it was a firewall issue or a mail server issue.

He said that we use another mail client - groupwise not the SMTP for IIS.

I reviewed the Microsoft forum and they advise using CDO instead of CDONT because CDONT will not be supported in newer versions.

I cannot find anything specific to types of mail servers that can be used and cannot be. I suggested using the ASPEmail third party component and he doesn't want to set this up on the server.

Any suggestions?

Hi there,

You can take a look here: http://Imar.Spaanjaars.Com/QuickDocID.aspx?QUICKDOC=249 and look at the section about Collaboration Data Objects. Maybe that will work for you, as it allows you to specify an external mail server.

Otherwise, I suggest you post this in the CDONTS forum. The forum you used now is exclusively for questions related to the books Beginning Dreamweaver MX and Beginning Dreamweaver MX 2004.

Cheers,

Imar
