Batching Emails :: AspEmail Vs CDO :; SendQueue Stability?
Database: Access 2000
Host: Maximum ASP
I am trying to work out the best way to send bulk email below the 1000 mark
(about 800).
I understand that I could either use ASPEmail or CDO although I believe that
ASPEmail may be superior in that it offers SENDQUEUE command which will
allow me to loop through my customer database and insert them into the TO
fields.
1. Could the above be confirmed?
2. I wish my mailing list to be invisible - I don't want the mailing list to
be evident in the recipients email...is this just a question of looping them
into the BCC field?
3. I remember seeing some posts a while ago highlighting problems with the
SendQueue Method.... what are the curve balls with this approach.
My web host tells me I can send upto a 1000 per day yet www.aspfaq.com says
about 800. How do I tackle this task correclty. I cannot move up to SQL
Server or MSDE yet and I do not have access to a mail server...
I need some help with making an asp website that will batch user requests for a particular video file, and then once a few requests are made for a video, play that video to the browsers that requested it (after a certain period of time). Physical path links to the video files are stored on an access database and the videos are loaded to be played from that database. (These files will be located in the IIS web server directory).
An example of this is when a request is made wait till you get 4 more requests and then play the video to the 5 browsers requesting the video, or play the video after for exampele 15 minutes, even if only 1 request is made. This is therefore a near video-on-demand "NVOD" system in asp. The problem is, I don't know where to start, and although I have done a lot of searches on the web I am still not getting anywhere with this.
Been struggling with this for a week to no avail. I have run simple test mail scripts and they work fine, but when I try to modify the existing formmail.asp it doesnt seem to work......
Need help with the CC object of ASPEmail script, how can I make it dynamic so that a varible can be inserted in this obj instead a static email address
When I submit my form, it works fine, and it comes into my MS Outlook. But for some odd reason, after line 8, it stops creating the output on a new line. Now this is no problem for me, but this will be going to someone else, and they'll get confused. Does anyone know why it stops line-breaking? Code:
If you are sending out bulk emails in the range of 800 to 1000 per day which component is better:
1. ASPEmail 2. CDO
....and further, do they also BOTH use a SEND TO QUEUE option.
I wish to progress according to the best one for the job...which do you think?
My current host maximumASP.com only allow 800 emails per day - grrrrr -so I am now forced to consider the painful sendqueue route which could result in my outgoing emails sitting on the server for hours if others are doing the same thing.
List server is too expensive complex; Cannot find a suitable local bulk emailer program except Access Mailer from FMS which is single threaded and does not auto-detect html or text mime in recipient email.
Not sure if anybody has run into this problem. I'm using ASPEmail from Persits to generate an email and send it. The problem is that when I check the email that the asp code sent using Outlook Express or Outlook the email gets cut off 3/4 of the way. If I check the email on hotmail, yahoo mail, any other email program....the email comes in full. Any ideas why this might be?
I am having a problem and I do not know as to decide. I had a form that he used another jmail component, something thus... and I modified the code to use aspemail, but t� not giving certain, only is giving errors of this, that and etc...
I would like well very to ask for to the voc�s aid this form to function. My server only accepted ASPEMAIL. Somebody has a form I to use of model ASPEMAIL. Well if somebody that understands well to be able to look at the code below and to see the errors, and if will be able to fix, Code:
I am building a simple incident recording system using ASP.
The form has Name, email address, telno, incident description and records the data to an access db and send an email to the user with an incident ticket number.
The client has asked for an extra feature to be able to attach documents such as Word documents.
Has anyone got a sample script where on the form the user clicks a button where he/she can browse for the file to be attached and ASPEmail can than send the mail with attachment.
I have a flash email contact form that uses ASP to execute the send mail. My sendmail component of choice is ASPEmail. The original script was CDONTS, but I needed it changed. I'm no programmer, but I got tired of posting for assistance in various forums only to receive plenty of looks but little help.
One person is offering to help me out, but I want to figure it out on my own until he gets some time to write up a script for me. Here is my script, which is sectioned out for easier reference. My form still doesn't send any mail and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I do not wish to rewrite the script because then I'd have to change the text input fields in my Flash contact form. I merely am seeking assistance on fixing my existing script in sections IV and V (toward the bottom of the script).
Would someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong, please? Oh, and before you ask, I did test my ASPEmail configuration and it is working fine via the test scripts that came with it.
When you fill out the form and click SUBMIT the acknowledgement (i.e Thank you very much...blah, blah, blah) appears and everything looks okay, but the mail never reaches my inbox, which to me means that it's not being sent.
So far, I haven't had much success with anyone tackling this, so I'm hoping that I can get some help here...I was able to get some really good and knowledgeable help a year ago...any takers?

Is there a way to send a newsletter to 14.000 addresses using an web-sending email aplication like Jmail, ASPemail or others? Ill tell you the whole problem, my friends. Im responsable of sending the newsletter, and my life is travelling from one city to another.
I dont have any notebook, so it would be very helpful if I could make (or use another's) aplication in where, using a user & pass, I could enter to a site and run "send" and then quit.
What is the best option?Im writing a forum so i need a universal solution... 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?
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 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 don't necessarily need code here, just some guidance to my thought process.
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?
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've read the following tutorial ->URL twice, but i can't get the script working.
What am i doing wrong?
I am working on my personal box at home, do i need to have a mail server running? do i need to have addtional asp component install?
I have emails being created and sent using CDO and it is working well but, the email is being sent twice. I only call the .send once (per person) but it comes through twice. Code:
anyone know a good way of tracking an email so that i know if theyve been opened? and preferably somethign where i can identify the recipient (matching with our crm)?
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'
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 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.
