Dim objNewMail
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objNewMail.From = fromEmail
objNewMail.To = toEmail

objNewMail.Subject = "Testing"
strBody=strBody & fromEmail &" Testing"
objNewMail.Body=strBody

objNewMail.Send
Set objNewMail = Nothing

I am due at a meeting so very quickly:

CDONTS is kind of depriciated now. On server -> 2003 the CDONTS.dll is not even there anymore. It must be dowloaded and registered for CDONTS to work. You need to be be using CDOSYS. here is a code example:

Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2
Dim iMsg,iConf,Flds,strHTML,strSmartHost
StrSmartHost = "10.?.?.?" 'place you SMTP address here
set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields
With Flds
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...tion/sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPort
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...ion/smtpserver") = strSmartHost
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...nectiontimeout") = 10
.Update
End With
With iMsg
Set .Configuration = iConf
.To = trim(request.form("tEmail"))
.From = Mail_From
.Subject = "Some subject"
.HTMLBody = "Your message body"
.Send
End With
Set iMsg = Nothing
Set iConf = Nothing
Set Flds = Nothing

NOTE - I pasted incorrect code initially. Ignore the code in your first email. I have corrected it above

I get no error on my page but the email goes in the badmail folder...

Firstly you should stop using CDONTS and use the reccomended CDOSYS mail method. This will take you a few miuntes to alter your code and hey, your issue may go away

I used to use CDONTS like most would have however never experienced this issue. Should I assume the mail is not getting sent, this is what caused you to look in this folder? I would say either of the following need to be looked at:

> Do you have valid email addresses in the 'fromEmail' and 'toEmail' variables?
> Is the SMTP service running and configured properly? Have you sent emails from this box before?

Anyhow as I said you should use the CDOSYS code

i removed the CDONTS code and put yours in with CDOSYS and it still does not work...
they get stuck in the queue folder...
its a valid server that sends email on a daily basis already...
the from to email address are correct...

is there somethign else i can check???

Rino

So you are now using the CDOSYS mail which means you have placed an IP address at this point?

StrSmartHost = "10.?.?.?"

You say it sends mail every day. Do you mean ASP scripts are sending mail everyday using SMTP? If so then its easy, compare the code being used that script to yours. If not and you are refering to other mail being sent then you still arnt aware of ASP scripts using SMTP that are successfully sending mail. I would do two things:

1..Look up the Telnet code to send a message using command line. This will tell you for sure if the IP address you are using works and the SMTP service is installed, running and has been configured which enables you to send mail

2..depending on the setup for EG exchnage you may need to vaidate any mail that is going to any outside address. Check this by sending internal mail, does this work? In our network we can only send internal mail without validation against an existing exchnage account.

i should have been more specific...
i send regular emails with outlook and i have a VB application that send emails daily though outlook...

1. i can telnet to the server with port 25 but it stays in the queue it doesn't sent it...
this is the commands i use
helo
mail from
rcpt to
data
.
"sending to queue" but doesn't

2. from this server i can send internal or external email not a problem...

If it doesnt work using telnet the fix is outside the scope of ASP and related code. Also outside the scope of my knowledge. Your network admin need to ensure the SMPT service is in a state so ASP code can send mail. Developers and network guys, two different jobs. Get the network guy to do his job then you can do yours.

Sorry to deliver bad news but your .asp page is not going to work until you can Telnet using the SMTP IP address successfully.

Sorry I cant help. Any issues with ASP I will do my best to assit, good luck

BTW you say:
;;;from this server i can send internal or external email not a problem...
I am not refering to mail sent by Outlook. I refer to mail sent using ASP
