Anyone has ideas how to send an email through ASP without having an SMTP server? I'm currently building a website which needs emails to be sent when users submits a form, however the web space provider doesn't not have an SMTP server. I'm now using CDO on my local testing server (with SMTP installed) and it works, but I just don't know how to get it working after uploading it because the remote server hasn't got SMTP on it.
I am in the process of transferring several ASP 3.0 websites from NT 4.0 to Windows Server 2003. The latest issue I am having is in converting CDONTS code to CDO code. My email sends fine, but is showing up truncated (approx. 1000 characters). The email is being sent in HTML format with the body string being a long string of concatenated strings. In NT 4.0 this is not a problem, but it appears to be in Win 2003. Have any of you come up against this same issue and if so what did you do to rectify it?
I am working on a listing for sending emails via CDONTS component...
I have installed SMTP service on my machine and tried running the sample code....No errors appear, yet no mail is sent in the long run...All necessary services are up and running (IIS Admin, WWW and SMTP).
Another thing is that i have checked to see if Default SMTP Virtual Server is listed under the Internet Services Manager pane tree, but nothing seems to be there except Default FTP Site and Default Web Site....
The question might seem silly but...do i have to have a Mail Server installed.....?
How can i determine the cause that prevents the mail from being sent...Logs don't help much....Is there a way to detect the actual presence of the component...?
Our network administrator does not want to install the IIS SMTP server on our intranet. He wants me to use our existing SMTP server "mail.smpi.siemens.ca". Can I do this with IIS?? Is this a setting in an ASP if I'm not running the IIS SMTP server?
1. I wonder, why do I need to add the following lines when sending forms through mail, using CDO component?
2. If I remove these lines and the form is still submitted as it should, and I get the mail as a result as it should, does it mean I do not need these lines?
3. In other words - How do I know if an SMTP service is installed on the local server, and not in another network (besides asking the admin)? Code:
I have no knowledge of Exchange server, and have always used CDO to send emails from ASP in the past. the server in question doesn't have SMTP installed alongside IIS, it has Exchange installed which apparantly does have SMTP capabilities but not like the default ones normally accessbile via IIS.
Has anyone ever used this approach to sending emails? I'm hoping that I dont need a component or anything else, just some changes to my existing email code.
Is it possible to logon to the SMTP server that comes with IIS from a machine other than the actual server. Ideally I would want to put some VB Script in an SQL Server Job Schedule or an ASP page that uses CDONTS and use it to pull the emails into the database. The SQL Server is on another machine on the network. Is this viable.
Is it possible to set up server-side mail services such that when someone e-mails to a certain address, the contents attached to that mail are processed and the processed content is returned to the user, again, as an attachment?I installed a server-side component for managing graphics. "Wouldn't it be nice," thought I, "if untutored staff could email graphics to a certain e-mail address to have them resized and returned to them.") I understand how to handle the graphics processing and the sending. I don't understand how to set things up so that e-mailing to a certain address will trigger the start of an application. Ideally you could do this all within ASP. Is this possible?
I have an application which sends emails. Currently we use the mailenable web server. If an email is not sent successfully then we want to update the email address in our database as unreacheable automatically.
In other words we want a mail server that when it gives up sending an email will do an http post, or will somehow communicate with our software so that we can update our database. if ther is a mailserver which will do this?
Not sure which forum this belongs in, so here it is here as well as in the IIS forum
I am migrating a Windows 2000 Server Web Server with an older version of IIS to a new Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6.0.....Everything is working properly accept web forms which simply send an email via a SMTP service installed in IIS:

I'm having a few problems with getting an SMTP server configured on my Windows 2000 Server web server. My web server is co-located at my hosts and i use VNC to remotely access the web server. Acting on advice from my host IIS's SMTP server has been disabled by running the IIS lockdown Tool. I have internal access to my hosts SMTP server where i can send mail from my web site to my own domain email address only, i am not allowed to send email external address.
Does anyone know of a SMTP server that i can use to send emails from my ASP website?
My host suggested Jmail for doing the job. I installed JMail on my web server but i am getting the following error:
"The message was undeliverable. All servers failed to receive the message"
Can anyone tell me what this error is? Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? I am correct in my understanding that JMail has its own SMTP server? How can i test to see if JMail is working? after installing JMail do i include my web server IP address as the SMTP server?
I want to send email using asp I' have tested with asp(CDONTS ),but it doesn't work. For example i send it tosomeone@somedomain,but it doesn't work.Should i make a configuration?The problem is i only can accept emails, but i cannot send any.
My web app were sending emails and then emails were not being sent because the SMTP was down. Are there certain steps that need to be followed/implemented at the web-server before an web app can send emails to the end-users into their client email? Please recommend where I can look into the IIS web-server if there is any place where permissions are set to allow the IIS to communicate with the SMTP mail server?
I'm trying to send and alert email via ASP page and it's getting stuck in c:InetpubmailrootQueue. Everything else is fine and I get no errors, this page redirects to the right place and everything. The mail just gets stuck in the queue. Go figure!
Here's the script I'm using or do you think my SMTP isn't set up right and if so where can I get some help on setting up the SMTP? Code:
i have an asp front end app on a win2k server and want it so that when form data is submitted and entered into the database, an email is generated concurrently with the details sent to an email address.

I have an ASP page that sends email using CDOSYS. If there is any type of failure that causes the email not to be sent, I don't have any way of knowing it. Is there any email component that will notify me or log the failure?
I have a website and I need visitorst to be able to send emails to me from it by filling out a form (not mailto:).
I have Win2k3 server enterprise running with IIS and POP3 all setup. My provider blocks port 80 so i redirect using no-ip.com to another port. I tryed CDOSYS and other free third party mailers (currently I have Persits Software free ASPemail installed), but I can't get anything to work. I know by now that I need to set something up (maybe some redirect) on my server so this works.
Please, if anyone knows how to do it, tell me how. In particular, to send an email from my site to at least my local server, and at best to lets say hotmail.com.
I'm having problems getting CDO.Message to work with SMTP on my Windows 2000 Server. I keep getting the following error:
CDO.Message.1 error '80040213'
The transport failed to connect to the server.
/services/E-CommerceQuote_new.asp, line 2357
I am assuming that it is meaning it can't find the server i have specified where the SMTP server is, which is the same PC. I have specified by IP and domain name but i get same error. i know i haven't said much about the setup im using so if needed i can provided more details.
I have an ASP page that uses CDOSYS to send a simple HTML format email with a PDF attachment. When I open the PDF attached to the email it shows up as a blank page. I log into the web server console and open the same PDF in the source directory and it opens fine. I run a binary comparison of the source and attached files and there's a difference: one byte, x'2E' is missing at offset x'0231'. If I save the attached file and use a hex editor to insert the x'2E' the file opens just like the original
Iīm facing problems while trying to send e-mails by CDO.Message... The error happens when some of the recipients arenīt real (working) e-mails... The error code is 0x8004020F, and the code simply donīt work when some of the e-mail in the list isnīt real, not sending to the rest of the list either.

I'm having problems getting the virtual SMTP server (in IIS) from sending an email message that was created from an ASP script. The messages are stored in the InetspbmailrootQueue directory but the computer isn't sending these messages to the Internet.
How do you change the port in which CDONTS will look for Microsoft SMTP server? I have Imail running on port 25, and I have SMTP service running on port 26. Any help you can provide me would be excellent.
My server has POP but only has SMTP if sending to my domain, and not other domains (such as hotmail). I'm therefore wondering, if anyone knows of any scripts etc, that will allow me to have a sort of "virtual" SMTP server on my site?. (I really can't afford to use a third party SMTP mailer).
I have a client with their own W2k server and their IT guy refuses to turn on the SMTP service for fear of it becoming hijacked by spammers.
However, they also want their web site to perform some emailing functions I would normally use CDOSYS for.
I'm having them look into alternate SMTP servers to use with CDOSYS, but I was wondering if anyone here can recommend a 3rd-party ASP-based SMTP app that might be more secure than IIS' built-in service?
I'm trying to send mails from asp page.Its showing error.Permission denied.When I checked the IIS settings SMTP server showing unnknown. I cannot start the SMTP server. Wat shall ido to start the smtp server.
