I'm looking to manage an email list with SQL server and send out newsletters. Does anyone have an idea of the limitations of sending emails with CDONTS.MAIL object? How long would it take to send out 1000 emails via asp. I guess there are many variables with that, but that's say there were no attachments and we have 15k emails. These news letters really will only be sent once a month or so. But lets say our list grows to 10000 users or even 100,000. Is that a good idea to send 100,000 thousand emails through an asp page? I wouldn't think so .
I'm developing a newsletter module in ASP... I've worked with two mailing objects
1- SMTPsvg.Mailer 2- CDONTS
Please share your experience and suggest me one of them which one is more efficient. keep in mind that it will be a loop to send mail to two thousand members.
I'm trying out a simple CDONTS mailer and I'd like to see an actual from-name in the received e-mail (rather than the e-mail address). How would this be done??
I am having problems with CSS expression. I have setup page that expresses some inline CSS within a repaet region. I am finding that after around 25-30 repeats the CSS stops expressing. The CSS is designed to set the size and position of a table and after too many record repeats it stop positioning the tables in internet explorer.
This may be a browser limitation becasue when I examine the source code of the expressed document the CSS is intact but it is not showing up in the browser.
I am using variable passing through the url, and as it is getting larger, I am finding that occassionally some values are getting trimmed. Is there a limit to how long a url can be?
I need to use an script that uploads via one of these three components: ASPUpload, SA-FileUp or SmartUpload. If any of you have some recommendations or know upload scripts using one of these components, it'd be great. Unfortunately, I need it to be able to upload huge files on the server (300 megs).
I would like to know what I am allowed to do in Sub OnTransactionAbort and what I am not allowed. (Or where can I find some material about this.)
I seem to have experienced that I am not allowed to do further database transactions and cannot see the global variables. I can see Session variables and do file transactions, however.
Just migrating some code from CDONTS to CDO and noticed some behaviour I want to verify. When using cdoSendUsingPickup the outgoing email spools to the local filesystem first before being routed out. When using cdoSendUsingPort it goes directly to the remote email server and seems to bypass the virtual SMTP server running on the local machine (which can be stopped). This is all fine.
I noticed that sending emails that exceed the maximum filesize limitation set in the SMTP server properties pages only seems to trigger an error when using port, not pickup. Is this expected?
i need to use bigger numbers that integer allows in asp. what should i use? i still need the whole number quality of the integer, but when i use anything larger than about ,100,000,000 i get the error Overflow: '[number: xxxxxxxxxxx]'
with the x's being the number i used. anyway around this?
I am getting ready to start a rather large website for a company. Its basically going to be a auction type website. This site has the potential to get extremely big if they market it correct. My question is can Access handle it?
I've heard there are certain size limitations in Access, but have never heard what those are. Has anyone out here actually reached those limits? Also how hard would it be to convert a Access db to SQL Server 2000? Is there a conversion tool within SQL Server or Access?
I am coding an ASP script, which currently requires a 5-dimension array, i.e. array(a,b,c,d,e)
I remember reading somewhere, a long time ago, that there is a limit to the number of dimensions in ASP. That was a long time ago, and I don't remember.
ASP based Cookies. What is the limitation in data you can store with them? 4kb? How can you get the current size of Cookies your domain has placed on the computer? Another thing. Are ASP based cookies actually written to the client computer, like javascript ones are; or are they stored in sessions?
Sessions. I know a Session can hold quite a bit of data, but I never found a limit. All I know is the more data you place in a session, the more resources the server is losing. Can anyone recommend how many different keys I should place in a session?
I usually hold things like Username, Password, AccessLevel and one or 2 other preferences, but I'm not sure if that's too much as is. What other common ways are Sessions used for?
Users are required to log into my website. I store the users name in a session variable. If the user doesn't log out and the session expires after 20 minutes, is it permissable to have code in the session end function of the global.asa which accesses a database and makes alterations to the users login status?
The reason I ask this is that I am having problems trying to get the logout to work for sessions which have timed out. If the users logout using the logout button, the code works fine.
I'm trying to implement the server.execute instead of using SS includes in a new project I'm doing. the server.execute command will not transfer variables or classes/subroutines defined on the other pages. Is this correct?
That's what I'm seeing but I want to be sure that I'm doing it right. I had to go back to SS includes to include my functions and classes I have stored in other files.
I have installed aspSimpleUpload and can upload files, up to 8 megs. However, I need to be able to upload any file size without any restrictions. Are there any file uploaders that I can use that will solve this problem?
I've been trying to use javascript for form validation. I want to get all the validation done in one function since it seems onSubmit can only handle one "return functioname()" But there seems to be strict limits to javascript function complexity. For example, it seems I can't do this
if ( (a < 3 && b < 2) || (c < 5 && d < 9))
it seems I can't do any 'else if condition x'
also it seems I can't do any nest 'if condition return true'. Is there a way for a single javascript function to handle many different form validations? Or can onSubmit handle more than one returning function?
I currently have a CGI mailer that is running but not executing mail because there isn't an open relay between the mail and web servers, if I was on unix and had sendmail I would be right I think. Now Im looking at going down the ASP route, would I need to open up a mail relay to get an ASP mail script to send mail? In this configuration? I am running this on a Windows 2003 machine and looking at CDONTS.
I am having a heck of a problem getting this script to email correctly. A form generates all the values, and the script sends off confirmation email- except I don't get any of the confirmation emails I don't get any errors either. I've tried multiple email addresse (in network, out of network, etc.)
I tried sending a mail with an attachment . I am able to attach a .jpeg as well as .pdf file to the mail but the prob is when i try to attach and send a .doc file . i am storing the path of the file selected thru a browse option and then attaching that file to the mail with mailer.addattachment. It gives the correct path but does not attach the .doc file.
I have attempted to write an .asp script to post form data to my e-mail, however when I tried to move it into a separate file, I no longer receive it... or it might be the for..next loop I tried to use. Code:
I know that the SMTPsvg.Mailer component is used to send mails from ASP Page. Can any body tell me where can I get the Component for download or Do I need to purchase the component? Is this Component is better than CDO ?
I have only dundas and the free softartisans.com mail installed on my server. Am wondering, who i could run mailer script that supports both html and graphics ?
I tried using the one listed here http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/ASPCode/...rom-a-database/ but I keep getting an error which I've posted but haven't found an answer for yet. Does anyone know of any other one that I can use. I basically want to be able to pull a list of the emails out of my db and send an email to those addresses.
I have used Mailer successfully on websites before. This time, I am trying to run my Mailer code on localhost, with IIS. This line, which in general works, is now generating an error message:
set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
What I've tried so far:
set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer") set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("localhost")
I don't know if I should be trying something else, if I have to do something beyond the actual code, or if it is simply not possible to have mailer working on iis/localhost.
I'm using a block of ASP to allow a user to send a form via e-mail. However, someone keeps sending me spam through this form and they're using a bogus return address. I'm testing for a successful send, which should fail if the return address is not valid, but I'm still getting the junk.
The block looks like this:
Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer") Mailer.RemoteHost = "smtp.xxx.com" Mailer.FromName = Request.QueryString ("Name") Mailer.FromAddress = Request.QueryString ("Email") Mailer.AddRecipient "Web Mail", "PCT2@xxx.com" Mailer.Subject = "P.C.T. E-mail" Mailer.BodyText = UserString if Mailer.SendMail then Response.Write " - Sucessful - " else Response.Write " - Failed - " Response.Write Mailer.Response end if
Should this block be stopping bogus From addresses? Or do I need to be doing something different?
I am still finding my feet creating a website in ASP, and i'm trying to get to grips with users providing feeback to my site. my webhosts have the dundas mailer installed, and i am trying to get it to work for me.
does it work in conjuction with regular html? can i add a <form> and text fields? and then will all that get sent with the page? .....
Basically the way it SHOULD work is a fixed sized window opens and displays two tables. The top table (id=fgWindow) displays the graphics; the bottom table has dropdown menus and text boxes.
I can make every item in the bottom window show up in an email (the Sub Button_Click), however I remain unable to get it to put the contents of the fgWindow table into the body of the email.
My only BIG question is, why won't it put the table that I have ID'd as "fgWindow" in the body of the email when I send it? Code:
