Bulk Email Advice

my web host offers ASPMail - which works fine for sending individual emails, but I'm not too keen on using it to send out bulk emails because generally it times out, and then I am left with having to work out who has received their email, and who hasn't.

Anyway, just checking to see if anyone here has any advice about what options I could use to send out bulk emails. My idea of "bulk" is anywhere between 300 and 1400 at a time.

I know there are lots of free services on the web out there which offer free email newsletter services - do people have any recommendations for any of these, or any ASP based components or scripts which I could use on my site to get around this problem?

CDO Bulk Email

Novice here, I am doing bulk emails using CDO, connection to a smtp
server at another location. I am trying to streamline my script, or
through it out and start over to make it faster.

I know that I am doing something wrong and that messages should be
sending much faster.

Set objConfig = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Fields = objConfig.Fields

With Fields
.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod)= cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "blah.com"
.Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 25
.Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 10
.Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoBasic
.Item(cdoSendUserName) = "blah@blah.com"
.Item(cdoSendPassword) = "blah"
.Update
End With

Set objMessage = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objMessage.Configuration = objConfig

' Open database here

objRS.Open SQLString, objConn,2,2
I = 0
With objMessage
.From = "Blah Mailer <blah@blah.com>"
.Subject = Request.Form("Subject")
.TextBody = Request.Form("Body")
Do while not objRS.EOF
.To = objRS("Name") & "<" & objRS("Email") & ">"
.send
objRS.MoveNext
I = I + 1
Loop
End With
objRS.Close
objConn.Close
Set Fields = Nothing
Set objMessage = Nothing
Set objConfig = Nothing

SOS! Bulk Email With Cdonts

I am building a web script that will enable a user to compose an email and send it to potentially thousands of subscribers on their mailing list from a DB. The ASP script will use CDONTS or Jmail.

Problem is that I told my host about the app and they say they only allows 1000 emails to be sent daily from my server. The script will possibly send thousands of emails daily. Any body have experience with using ASP for bulk emailing, and how to get around server limitations?

Advice On NT Login

I'm looking to set up a contact directory where people can update there contact information. I was thinking of using the request.server NTLOGIN, this would cover ther security side. I've been looking at the pattern for creating logins and it seems they don't go any longer than 7 chars, but its based on the surname and the forename.

ie mine is first 6 digits of my surname and first intital of my first name, but then looked at another and the surname is only 4 chars so they use that and then first three of first name. Do you think it would be possible to do compares on this as the logins vary each time?

Advice For Adding Languages

Ive done quite a few sites now that involve different languages using different strategies and I would like to hear some different opinions on which is the most efficient.

The previous sites with languages that I have done have not been majorly big or would involve vast amounts of traffic so using included language file have been ok. I am about to do a site in 4 - 6 different languages that will have quite a lot of traffic. I have also used application variables in some cases but not sure if that is the best way.

So if anyone has any ideas on a better way and also one that is easy on server resources I'd love to hear them (and maybe a link to some code would be koool)..

Advice For Form Processing.

I'm just after abit of advice and recommendation about processing a form. Would it be advisable to set the form action to the page were the form currently sits and insert an if statement into the beginning of the page to check to see if submit = Yes?

Then saving the user inputs into sessions?

if all inputs meet the validation requirements then redirect the user to the next step?

Also is there a better way of trapping if a user enters numerical values and special characters than this? Code:

ASP Bulk Emailing

I am currently working on script which needs to be able to send personalized emails.

The number of emails needing to be sent at one time could be anywhere from 100 to 100,000.

I would like to provide this as a background process. IE The administrator clicks on the "Dispatch Emails" button, is able to continue with his work, and then sometime later a popup windows shows up telling him the emailing was successful.

The script is currently using a sendmail function using CDONTS. Will this be able to handle a large number of emails? What about being able to somehow have the sendmail functioning in the background?

I have never worked with ASP send mailing features before and I guess I am looking for suggestions as to how i should go about this.

Bulk Updates

I have an Employee Database in MSAccess with more than 10 tables. The updates of employee is done frequently and is done in bulk. The fresh data arrives in Excel worksheets (more than 50 records).

I have created a user interface in ASP to update these records in Access. But the user ends up doing more work updating. Importing Excel worksheets to Access is one way ...but then the column names and types have to be adjusted evrytime.

Can i build a datagrid in browser using ASP, so that the whole table gets displayed and the user can update the data in bulk. And is there any way I could copy paste the Excel records in such datagrid?

Bulk Emailing

I need to send an email out to about 800 members of our organization once every month. I've been using a 3rd party listserver, but that's been cumbersome at best, trying to keep the two email databases in sync and all.

I know how to write an asp loop to query our database and send an email to each of the 800 recipients, but I'm not sure if this is the right approach. We have an sql-driven website that's tied in as well, so ideally what I want to do is use asp to grab some website data from the sql database, generate the email text, then cycle through our membership database sending it to each member. Is this a good method, or what would be a better approach?

Sending Bulk Emails

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.

CDO Attribute For Bulk Mail?

I was wondering if there was a CDOSYS attribute to mark the importance of mail messages. I'd like to set their importance to "80" so the CDO Generated messages are treated as low priority by my mail server.

I was wondering if their was an configuration attribute like the following which I could use.

ObjMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2
ObjMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") ="mail.domain.com"
ObjMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")=25
ObjMessage.Configuration.Fields.Update

Email Validation Of Email Address Within An Access Database

Im running a simple mail system program which emails newsletters to a database list of 3000+ users.

The program loops through a database containing the emails and sends them out using ASPEmail.

My question is, is there some way i can validate each email address so that if there are invalid characters e.g. the space in "blah @blah.com"
it will skip the record and continue the loop.

At the moment i have a working program however, whenever the program comes across an invalid email address it stops at that record and prevents the program from emailing any further.

ASP Email Form: Sends To Some Email Addresses But Not Others..

here is the script i use:

Set myMail=server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="subject"
myMail.From="me"
myMail.To=request.form("email")
myMail.TextBody="hello"
myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing

this script sends emails to some addresses but not others--and its based on the email service it's sending to. for instance, hotmail email addresses get the email, but mail.com email addresses dont get the email. i have tried sending it to other email hosts, too, and still, some work, some don't. what is going on here?

Email Through CDONTS Using ISP Email Server

I am using CDONTS component to send email in ASP.

The code is some thing like this:

Dim Mail
Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.Newmail")
mail.From = "abc@hotmail.com"
mail.to = "xyz@hotmail.com"
mail.subject = "Test Email Subject"
mail.body = "This is Email body message"
mail.send

Now the question is that this code will use the Default Virtual SMTP Server in IIS, but I want to use my ISP's SMTP server. please tell me how to do this. I have used my ISP's email server in Outlook express and it is working fine. Please do not suggest to use "CDO" or "CDOSYS" to use for sending emails because I must have to use "CDONTS".

Remove Email Address/ Pseudo Email Address

has anyone got a function or subroutine which will remove blank out or remove email addresses.

i've wrote a function which will remove valid email addresses, it's pseudo addresses such as "blah @ blah.com" or "blah_at_blah_dot_com" or "blah_at_blah_._com"

the function is basically to stop users posting an email address in a message.

Public Function SendMail3(toAddr, whoAddr, docSubj, docMsg, ByVal docType As Integer, Optional cc = "", Optional bcc = "", Optional sFolder = "", Optional user = "")
On Error GoTo MailErr
Set oFlds = oConf.Fields
oFlds(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
oFlds(cdoSMTPServer) = SMTPSrvr
oFlds(cdoSMTPServerPort) = SMTPPrt
oFlds(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoBasic
oFlds.Update
Set oMail = New CDO.Message
oMail.From = whoAddr
oMail.To = toAddr
If (cc <> "") Then
oMail.cc = cc
If (bcc <> "") Then
oMail.bcc = bcc
If oFSO.FolderExists(sFolder) Then
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(sFolder)
For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
If InStr(oFile.Name, "_" & user) > 0 Then
oMail.AddAttachment oFile.Path
FileSize = Format((FileLen(oFile) / 1024) / 1024)
SumSize = SumSize + FileSize
oFSO.DeleteFile (oFile)
End If
Next
End If
End If
End If
If ((docType Mod 2) = 0) Then
oMail.TextBody = docMsg
Else:
oMail.HTMLBody = docMsg
End If
If (SumSize > 10) Then
ErrorStrMail = "Attachment size too large!"
GoTo MailFlee
End If
oMail.Subject = docSubj
Set oMail.Configuration = oConf
oMail.Send
MailFlee:
Exit Function
MailErr:
ErrorStrMail = Err.Number & ":" & Err.Description
Resume MailFlee
End Function

When I call this component from an asp page,I don't get any error,but the mail doesn't work.....did I do something wrong?
