I am in the beginning phase of a project that will require automatic email reminders to be sent out. Has anyone had any experience or suggestions that might help me get started in the right direct. My project will use the following.
ASP/VBScript/SQL Server Express
Once a record has been added the Auto Email reminders will be sent every 24 hours for the first 3 days or until the receiving party has responded to a questionnaire.
Anyone want to give me any pointers as to how to send emails from asp?

This means i cant use something like ASPEmail as not all ASP servers have this.
So what do i use? Someone suggested to me CDONTS but then said you have to set up the server or something.Do all web servers have this pre configured.
Is there any way we can send off an email from a web hosting server that does not support CDONTS and cannot register any components to their server. They have no SMTP server as well.
IS there any web site that supports any one of these for FREE or better yet is there any other way to send off an email without CDONTS and components? Is it possible to like redirect to another mail with just scripting?
Appreciate any response to this matter.
I have a stored procedure which sends out an email to all the users
listed in the database. for some reasons I am not getting all emails.
could someone offere some assistance? Code:
I am using ASP to send order confirmation emails to customers. However i want the emails to appear as HTML in the emails.
I have Successfully done this but i need to know how to attach CSS to the emails, so that it can look exactly like the html page i design.
I am using the CDONTS.Newmail component with the .body attribute.
I am working on a piece of software that needs to store email data in a SQL server table. Been flicking around and it looks like the ASP mail components are a good way to go. Basically I will be recieving mails from a pop3 server (prob outlook) and using the same program to put the data in a database.

I have built a system for a hospital where users can sign up for classes that the hospital offers. Now, I want to be able to send the users a reminder email a day or so before the event/class. In the database, I have all the user's info in one table. Another table holds the registrations with keys to the user table and the key to the table that has a listing of the classes.
How do I now go about automatically looking through the class table to find out if there is a class in the next 24 hours, and then send an email to all the people registered for that class?
Has anyone had or heard of IIS not passing emails or SSL connections, thereby disconnecting or making the server useless?
I had a virus that seems to have done this.
I need some advice on how to write an email script in asp. I am farely new to asp but so far i have manage to understand most of the materials i've covered for this language except for sending emails from a form.

I have an exchange server, that I sometimes use to perform mail shots to
clients on our database, these can be upwards of 1000 at a time.
As we don't want different clients to see who we are working with we put
these mailshots in the bcc field of the mails.
This can sometimes cause a problem as we are getting alot of mails bounced
back. I would like to write a script to have these emails sent
out individually using the to: field of the mail. I have googled for
examples of doing this but haven't found anything useful yet
When sending long emails a mysterious space-character is added after a
certain number of characters. Any idea why that happens?
I am using a Dundas Mailer control (if that matters) called from an asp
script.
I need to send a set of Emails from my application (reminders) each month
1st. Is there anyway in ASP scripts to trigger an event to run
automatically? I have no dedicated server, so no DLLs or Scheduler scripts
can be used. Also adding the trigger script in the application object may
not send emails in time, as we have not enough visitors to that application.
Is there any way other than 'Clicking a Send button'
is there a way of sending emails directly from iis without using an external
SMTP service?
Im searching around how to send emails but it doesnt seem to be working for me. They stay in the queue and research tells me that a firewall might be blocking them from being sent.
This is in the events log: "The remote server did not respond to a connection attempt."
Is there a way to send the email via the user's mail program?
I am getting a bit worried because not all of my emails are being sent/received. My customers fill out the form on the website and their details are emailed to me. I have filled out the form several times, and some of my details are not being sent. Code:

View Replies View Relatedi have to do a few stuff in ASP for a client. I'm used to code in PHP but I'll manage to do it...
I just have a question though. The app will have to send an email with sensitive data (cc info). The pages dealing dealing with these info are secured (SSL) but what about the email? Can you encrypt it? Is it safe to send an email just like that or should you do something to secure your data? If yes, what are the measueres to be taken?
I wonder how I would go about an email tracker using ASP. I need this for the database to capture all unsubscribe requests. For instance, someone emails "unsubscribe@domain" I should be able to catch that email, get who emailed it and record that to my unsubscribe table. Also I am using a a commercial mail server (ability mail server) and not the virtual smtp server which comes along with IIS.
View Replies View RelatedI have an application which sends out emails in HTML format. I have a problem when I am trying to display images in the email (name of the image file is taken from database).
The problem is that if there is a space in the image file name, it displays a + (PLUS sign) and does not display the photo in GMAIL and other emails. The URL of the image gets displayed in the following manner:
3_Marathon+Crescent_Toronto_1.jpg+
How do I solve this + (PLUS sign) issue?
I have about 5000 emails in my database. I wrote a basic script that sends
an email to all of those email addresses. Usually I have to break it up and
only send 300-400 at a time so my script does not timeout.
I know I can up my timeout to 45 minutes if I needed to, so that they could
all be sent at once, but I do not believe that is a wise decision.
Does any know of any other ways to do this more efficiently?
I have a Client Mailer page which basically sends emails off containing information specific to each client = email address found in the relevant database. I basically get this to simply loop through the client recordset (recordset.moveNext), and on each loop it sends an email to the relevant email address via CDOSYS.
Can I just check that this is ok, and this could :
a. Not have a maximum amount of clients this could send to, and basically be too much for the page to cope with if there were too many clients to loop through?
b. This could not cause some sort of Email block due to the server thinking it is spamming, etc.?
This was something someone mentioned, which I just wanted to check out!, as they suggested changing it to a Javascript refresh page, whereby it will send an email every 6 seconds for example by refreshing the page with Js, but I don't really want to change it to this unless I have to... as I was hoping the way in which I have it with the recordset loop, that it would be ok.
I've been working with ASP for 6+ years now, but in that time I've
never had any solid advice on how to build a secure system. So I
thought I'd ask here first.
Anyway, here's the situation: I have a client who wants to take credit
card information via ASP form (https) and then send the resulting
content (which may be either HTML- or text-formatted) to their email
account, which they access using Outlook (2000, I believe). I want to
build the system to make it as secure as is reasonably possible; at
the same time, they want to make it easy to read / retrieve their
signed/encrypted messages.
I know their are a lot of components out on the market that permit
programmatic encryption of data, but I don't know enough about what I
need to make an informed buying decision. I've heard that encrypting
the email content and then signing the entire message is the proper
thing to do, but how do I actually do that via code? And I definitely
don't understand how the message is handled once it reaches Outlook
(via POP, IMAP or Exchange -- they haven't decided on which yet).
My brain is full of things such as AES, MD5 + SHA-1, SSL, S/MIME and
such -- how do I put all these things together into an effective
solution?
I have an application form and as the user finishes the application form, an email is sent to the user to notify him/her that he/she has successfully been registered...what i want to do is that another email is sent to me at the same time to notify me that a new user has registered...is there a way to do it by only defining one CDO or do i need to create two CDO(s)...i mean:
Set objMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objMail2 = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
.
.
etc...
can someone please advice me if this is the right way?
I would like users on a web application to be able to select users from active directory and use their email address - in much the same way as Outlook does. How hard is this to do in asp? Would it be easier to do in .net?
I am proficient in asp but have never done this, on the other hand, I am starting to develop my .net skills.
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 have a new laptop that appears to be setup identically to the old one. I'm
working on an ASP page that sends an email. On the old machine the emails
are send just fine (CDO or CDONTS). However the new machine holds everything

sent, but all new messages from the web page are again queued. I'm running

connection was dropped by the remote host.
I am using CDONTS object to send emails to a person when he is registered with the web portal,but the problem is the mail is getting filtered as a spam or junk mail, and does not land in the Inbox,how to send this auto generated email into the inbox and not as a spam or bulk mail.
