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:
this isnt really an ASP question but is related: i'm using CDO to send emails from sites but we have a proper mail server and want to send emails through that. is there a way to get the CDO system to use an external SMTP server by default as opposed to the one on the local machine? or do i have to go through all the sites and rewrite them? (not a simple task, we have lots of sites!)

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?
We are running on Windows 2000 SP4 with IIS5.

How do I find my STMP server ( I need it to use AspSmartMail)?
My web site is being hosted on a .com , do I have to ask them? Or can I find it by myself.
anyone know if this is possible? I need to specify a different one than the default.
View Replies View RelatedAnyone 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.
View Replies View RelatedI 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.
View Replies View RelatedIs 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?
My question is do ASP need to declare smtp server when send email using CDonts function?

View Replies View RelatedWish I'd found the thread yesterday before spending half the day fighting
the same battle and finding a workaround. But at least it explains why my
final approach worked.I set the remote folder as a virtual folder on the webserver, assigned web rights to a domain user and used fso.copyfile(server.mappath) to copy a
file created locally.I'm not thrilled that access to the remote location can't be controlled at the user level this way but at least access to the calling script can.
Strange though, the problem showed up during a migration. Server A had been
hosting this asp page and connecting to server B sucessfully. I was moving
the application to server C when I ran into the problem. All three machines
are W2K, same service pack, same domain, same users, same access
rights/method configuration. Go figure.
I try to get data from a database which is on an other server. I can view the files on this server via the directory "t:" from the machine the ASP pages are on.

Error:
't:Database.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
I need to connect to a SQL db on a remote server but my connection string doesn't appear to work as the page just keeps timing out. The physical url of the db is (not real IP) 0.0.0.0/Databases/query and the connection string looks like so:

This is what the path looks like in the Access 2k database. c:/Inetpub/WWWroot/TEB/Documents Okay this is what happens, when I use this path it doesn't open the file because it's looking for it on my local machine.
But when I use this path f:/Inetpub/WWWroot/TEB/Documents in which F: is mapped to the server where the web site is locate it opens the file. If I use this method this would mean mapping everyone to this server which causes a security issue.
I cannot allow anyone to view or modify my files for the intranet, they may become corrupted. So what I need is some kind of alias or something that.
