send email automatically with classic asp

crmpicco · June 5th, 2006, 02:36 PM

First of all i am sorry, this has probably come up many times before....

But i am looking for a working script will send email automtically from an ASP page.

I have tried many examples, at the moment i have this;

Code:

<% 
    sch = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/" 
 
    Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") 
 
    With cdoConfig.Fields 
        .Item(sch & "sendusing") = 2 ' cdoSendUsingPort 
        .Item(sch & "smtpserver") = "127.0.0.1" 
        .update 
    End With 
 
    Set cdoMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message") 
 
    With cdoMessage 
        Set .Configuration = cdoConfig 
        .From = "[email protected]" 
        .To = "[email protected]" 
        .Subject = "Sample CDO Message" 
        .TextBody = "This is a test for CDO.message" 
        .Send
    End With 
 
    Set cdoMessage = Nothing 
    Set cdoConfig = Nothing 
%>

and i get this error

Error Type:
(0x8004020F)
The event class for this subscription is in an invalid partition
/picco/sendEmail.asp, line 106

Anyone got a working version? Is there something mising on my machine?

I have WinXP Pro.

If you keep asking the same type of questions, you keep getting the same type of answers:

Did you Google for this?

Searching Google for "The event class for this subscription is in an invalid partition" will give you some very useful results. Heck, you can even choose "I'm feeling lucky" in Google and you're taken straight to the answer....

Why you keep asking questions that you can solve in a split second using Google is completely beyond me. Suggestions are welcome...

hi Imar, i have looked at the ASPFAQ site, but I do not know what he is talking about or even where to start looking at???

i have this code;

Code:

<% 
    sch = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/" 
 
    Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") 
 
    With cdoConfig.Fields 
        .Item(sch & "sendusing") = 2 ' cdoSendUsingPort 
        .Item(sch & "smtpserver") = "67.15.20.10" 
        .update 
    End With 
 
    Set cdoMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message") 
 
    With cdoMessage 
        Set .Configuration = cdoConfig 
        .From = "[email protected]" 
        .To = "[email protected]" 
        .Subject = "Sample CDO Message" 
        .TextBody = "This is a test for CDO.message" 
        .Send 
    End With 
 
    Set cdoMessage = Nothing 
    Set cdoConfig = Nothing 
%>

and have this info from my host:
Email Address: [email protected]
Email Server: mail.crmpicco.co.uk
Email Server IP: 67.15.20.10

but i am getting nowhere - fast!

any thoughts???

i realise that i may be trying to do it the hard way, but i cant seem to get it working on my localhost (i seem to have spent ages on this). i had it working A-OK on my machine at work, but locally i am having no luck.

i have a firewall (ZoneAlarm personal), but i am unsure if that is blocking Port 25 - as it has not alerted me.??????

Do you even have a local SMTP serve running?

With CDO you do not need local SMTP running but you do need to configure the SMTP server (if its remote) to accept email from the server you are trying to send it through. If the ip you listed is the local server then yes check that its running

If you are trying to use a remote SMTP server to send this mail check with the servers administrator and make sure your ip has permission to send mail through that server. For obvious spam reasons remote SMTP servers limit who is allowed to send mail through them.

If you are using a remote SMTP (and you are ok to send mail through it) make sure you are using 2 email addresses that have that domain. ie Do use [email protected] To [email protected]. For your testing dont try [email protected] To [email protected].

On remote SMTP even though you can sometimes send email they will not allow you to relay out of the network for security reasons.

A couple of more observations the ip you gave is not localhost. Localhost 127.0.0.1

The error trying to send mail through this server is.
Error is The transport failed to connect to the server.

Its definately a network or SMTP config issue. You may want to post this to a network group. This is not a question for the ASP group.
