Hello

Having gathered various contact details in a form and sent these off to a database, I want to sent a confirmation of booking to the customer who has filled in the form.

----------------------
dim objCMail
Set objCMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCMail.From = "[email protected]"
objCMail.To = strEmail
objCMail.Subject = "Your CPD Booking " & strName
objCMail.BCC = "[email protected]"
objCMail.Body = "Thank you for booking a place on " & strCourse & VBcrlf & VBcrlf & "This course costs £" & strFee & "." & VBcrlf & "Invoice Address:" & VBcrlf & strIaddress & VBcrlf & VBcrlf & "If you are paying by cheque, please make cheques payable to... etcetc."
objCMail.Send
Set objCMail = nothing
--------------------------------
This works fine as long as strEmail is my own address, or any address within our domain, but it wont send to any external addresses, and nothing is bcc'd to hotmail.

I suspect I have to do some tweaks serverside (2000 server), but I don't know which and where... Any tips?

Also, is it possible to set up and send another mail object after setting this one to nothing? I'd like to send some slightly different information to another party.

Thanks in advance for your input.

This seems to be a typical relay problem at mail server. The configuration of SMTP service needs to be changed. The following link will help you if you are using IIS 5.0.

If you are not using windows 2000 and IIS 5.0, please search microsoft site with some keyword like "SMTP configuration IIS6.0" etc. You should get answer.

Cheers! I'll have a look at that :)

Thank you for the article.
I have configured the smtp server accordingly to allow absolutely everything (anonymous access is ticked as only option under authentication and I have unticked allow all computer which successfully authenticate, leaving the all except the list below ticked under relay) but I still can't send to other domains :(

Any other suggestions or other things server side that I might not know about?

Cheers.
