CDONTS, CDOSYS & JMail
I've been searching high and low for a decent comparitive analysis of the various e-mail components for IIS (specifically for use with ASP).
Here are a few that are pretty common: ASPMail - I've been using this, but it seems that if the SMTP server is backed up, it slows down ASP page that submits the mail, apparently because this version does NOT provide message queuing
ASPQMail - This component provides the queuing options, which theoretically would avoid ASP slowdown when the SMTP server backs up. Unfortunately my host doesn't offer this component.
CDONTS - Comes with IIS, so widely supported
CDOSYS - Comes with IIS 5 & later
JMail - A free component, also widely used. Documentation is poorly translated into English and difficult to follow.
Putting aside the fact that every web host supports a different set of mail components and "your mileage may vary"...
What is the best-performing solution?

My host does not support CDONTS for sending email, but instead uses JMAIL. I have a example of the code i need (in CDONTS) but need to translate it into a JMAIL version for it to work with my website.

Dim objCDO
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCDO.From = Request.Form("EMAIL")
objCDO.To = Request.Form("POSTER_EMAIL")
objCDO.cc = Request.Form("EMAIL")
objCDO.Subject = Request.Form("SUBJECT")
objCDO.Body = Request.Form("MESSAGE")
objCDO.Send()
Set objCDO = Nothing

I have an email script that used to work but now doesn't, my web host told me I have to use CDOSYS instead of CDONTS.If it's not to much trouble could someone look at my script below and make it CDOSYS compliant.Thanks

Dim usxCDO
Set usxCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

Is it necessary to set field configurations for CDOSYS?
I have yet to recode all my existing uses of CDONTS over to CDOSYS. In most
of the sample code I've seen on the usual ASP sites, there is code to set
field configurations for CDOSYS (usually using With... End With). However,
in a number of CDOSYS-related code samples offered within this news group,
the field configuration code is absent.

I have a form that needs to handle international characters withing the UTF-8
character set. I have tried all the recommended strategies for getting utf-8
characters from form input to email message and I cannot get it to work. I
need to stay with classic asp for this.
Here are some things I tried:
'CDONTS
Call msg.SetLocaleIDs(65001)
'CDOSYS
msg.HTMLBodyPart.Charset = "utf-8"
I included the following meta tag in the email HTML:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I also tried modifying the CharSet and CodePage of all involved Request and
Responses.
I was able to Response.Write the form content on post back to the screen and
it was properly rendered. However, none of my efforts can get the email to
render with the correct codebase. I have tried opening the email in Outlook
and Thunderbird. Neither one picks up on the UTF-8 charset meta tag.

When using CDOSYS, if an email address contains a hyphen(-) prior to the @ sign, the form will fail. Can anyone reading this who uses CDOSYS test this same scenario in their environment? I wonder if this is a CDOSYS issue, or something specific to my situation.
When using CDONTS, we can only send to email addresses that are internal to our company. For example, any emails addressed to(E-Mail address blocked: See forum rules) go through fine. For all non widgetsRus email addresses, such as Internet addresses, the form submits but the delivery never occurs and so failure messages are returned.
This single form has been setup on two servers, on the one server it works fine and can be sent to non widgetsRus recipients. The same form on a different server does not. I know it's not the code so I'm wondering if there are some SMTP settings that could be the problem?

I run a web site that uses various forms to send email to customers. For example, I have a "Forgot your password?" script and a "Email this page" script.I've found out that when a user sends an email via my site to a Hotmail address, the email just "disappears." I'm assuming Hotmail is considering the email SPAM because it was send by my web server? The site uses ASP and I've tried using CDONTS and CDOSYS (which I specified a SMTP server for) and nothing seems to work for Hotmail.
A large portion of my customers user Hotmail, so banning it really isn't an option.Is there anything I can do to prevent Hotmail from blocking my site's emails?

I put the following code into my mailer: Code:
if objIndexMail.Send then
Response.Write("Mail Sent")
else
Response.Write("Failure. ")
end if
and it's coming up as Failure every time. Is there a way I can see the status of the .Send command, and why it came up as a failure? no errors are being generated, it's just not sending..

I have both cdosys.dll and cdonts.dll on my W2K3 server. We have been told by our web authors that their asp code won't work on our machine and that we don't have CDONTS installed on our machine. They're getting an error from:
Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
I know that the new format is:
Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Is there something special that we have to have installed to make CDONTS work?

For some reason, the email scripts on my web site can't send emails to
Hotmail accounts. No error is generated, but no email is sent either. I've
done some searching on this matter, and it appears as though I'm not the
only one having this problem, but I have yet to find a solution :(
Below is my CDOSYS script that was *supposed to* resolve the problem by
passing the SMTP server's along with the email, but it doesn't work :(
Have any of you had success with sending emails to Hotmail accounts via CDO?
I don't have control over the server's setup because it's a hosted account...

I have tried both CDONTS and CDOSYS methods ... both are giving me headaches.
And the best part is how incredibly helpful the error is: (Sarcasm Intended)

I am running into a wierd error while using W3jmail. The error is: Error Is:
jmail.Message (0x8000FFFF) The message was undeliverable. All servers
failed to receive the message
/reclaim/app/email/WA_Universal_Email/JMail_VB.asp, line 126
The thing that is wierd about it is the fact that the email sends even though the above error is displayed. Has anyone run into this before? or have any suggestions on how to eliminate the error?

I got Jmail to work fine. My problem is I need to send an email based
on somthing a customer submitted. When we receive the submission in
our system an auto-receipt email will be sent. What I need to have
happen (and cant figure out) is that email to include what was received
not just a on liner saying it was received. The information is pulled
from the db with a query. Anyone got any suggestions?

I am currently trying to code a newsletter script with asp using jmail. I've seen hundreds of examples on the net that accomplish this but there is only one problem they all use a do while statement that sends one email at a time. When I do this the server times out because my list is so long. So I have been trying to write a scrip that uses the BCC function to send one email to everyone at once. Unfortunatly I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this?

I can get it to work with following code:
<%
Set JMail = Server.CreateObject("JMail.SMTPMail")
JMail.ServerAddress = "smtp.stormvision.co.uk:25" ' change this to your mail server
JMail.Sender = "a@p.com"
JMail.Subject = "Enquiry"
JMail.AddRecipient("marcus@stormvision.co.uk") 'here type in your email address again
JMail.Body = ("Email : " & Request.Form("Mailto") & vbcrlf)
JMail.appendtext("Full Name: " & Request.form("Name") & vbcrlf)
JMail.appendtext("City : " & Request.form("City") & vbcrlf)
JMail.appendtext("Telephone : " & Request.form("telephone") & vbcrlf)
JMail.appendtext("Postcode : " & Request.form("postcode") & vbcrlf)
JMail.appendtext("Comments : " & Request.form("comments") & vbcrlf)
JMail.Priority = 3
JMail.Execute
%>
The trouble is says that every email is from a@p.com
So i modified the JMail.Sender line to
JMail.Sender = Request.Form("Mailto")
But am struggling to make it work.

I have JMail installed, and when I code for remote servers, I am able to send the mail just fine, however I have yet to figure out how to test locally with IIS 5.1's mail server.
Does anyone have some information on how to setup the local system so I can test this feature before I script for it remotely? I'm sure that there 2 key points where I'm having a problem is
1. Setting up the IIS Mail Server

I’m creating an application that uses JMail to send email. And it works great!! as longs as I don’t try to add an attachment. However, I really need to have my users be able to add attachments; otherwise the purpose of this application is null and void.
I know that the file that is attached needs to be uploaded to a file share folder via FTP then encoded before being sent. My problem is that I don’t know how to code it. This is the JMail code that I am working with: I need some help in getting the code other than (Jmail.addAttachment) for adding the attachment......

I had a problem with my webspace provider and CDONTS so I gave upon that front. I am now trying JMail which seems to be working, so now I need to transfer all my formatting from CDONTS to JMail.
I have a question on the formatting of a Jmail email.
I have the following snippet of code which details the variables and contents of the body of the email
body = "Name:- " & Request.Form("firstname") & " " & Request.Form("surname") & "<p>" & Request.Form("number") & "</p>"
I want to insert a line break/paragraph between Request.Form("surname") and Request.Form("number"). As you can see I have tried dong this with <p> tags and also <br>'s. However the tags are outputted into the email and not acutal line breaks.
Any ideas as to how to format the body of the email?
