CDONTS Mass E-mail
My problem is, when I send e-mail to our members, not all of them are getting them and there is no rhyme or reason. I was thinking of re-writting the program to go through MS Outlook so our Exchange Server will take care of sending it. Then again, probably there is someone who can help me figure out why some e-mail are not getting delivered even though they have valid e-mail addresses. There must just be about 25-35 out of probably close to 2000 members in our mailing list. I am using SMTP do you think it is getting overloaded with delivery? Sometimes they would come back with a delivery delayed notification.
I posted my code because there might be something in my program that does not work for mass e-mail sending and somebody might want to give me a suggestion on handling this matter.
What if I send the e-mail one by one instead of doing a bcc?

I'm going to have a need to send out about 30,000 e-mail messages regularly to addresses that reside in a list/database. (not spam :)
Because of insitutional infrastructure issues on the +receiving+ side, I need to space out the sends: say, send 500 messages, pause ten minutes, send another 500, until the full list of 30,000 is complete.
I'm either going to code this myself, or buy a component that does this for me. Can anyone advise me of a component that can deliberately slow down the processing/sending of an e-mail job? The SMTP stuff will reside on our end.

I want to use a simple CDONT mail script to allow the administrator of a site to send an email blast to their users. there are approx 1600 emails in the MS SQL db table. I would like to parse the entire email address column and get a variable that is all the email addresses separated by a comma so that the form picks it up as all the emails in the 'bcc' field as in the eg. below..I know there has to be an easier way but I want to get these guys up and running.
<%
objCDO.To = "Recipient@oursite.org"
objCDO.From = "mailer@oursite.org"
objCDO.bcc = "$variable_of_all_email_addresses"
Dim txtSubject
txtSubject = "Insert comments and case info here"
objCDO.Subject = ""***ATTENTION*** NEW CASE - MISSING CHILD"
objCDO.Body = txtSubject
objCDO.Send
%>

IS the code for sending email using cdonts different if you are running a windows 2000 server with exchange 2000 as opposed to running a different windows server (NT) with exchange 5.5?
if I upgrade the server to exchange 2000 from 5.5 do i have to reinstall the cdo.dll on the server??? do i need to somehow reinitialize the cdo so it's active?

I had a webmail CDONTS script working.quite well too I think
I had an error saying mail.to had a type mismatch. I went through the database (it's a web form mailing list for a client) and found what I thought to be bad email addresses. Tried it again and it works fine.
My question, is there anyway to validate the email address? I am assuming that CDONTS wants the text string to be in a certain format. How can I test the data for a valid format, and then throw out that email address if it is not in the expected format?

can anyone see why this wouldn't work...it's driving me nuts
Set objcdmail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objcdmail.From = "me@mydomain.com"
objcdmail.To = "me@mydomain.com"
objcdmail.Subject = "test"
objcdmail.Body = "testing"
objcdmail.send
Set objcdmail = Nothing
I have copied this from another page that I have. The original page takes
the details from a form on another page, so the results above are all
request.form("whatever") etc, and the original works!!
but if I try to put fixed values in as above it fails to work and I can't
see why?
I've even tried a response.write to check the values..and they look right,
but no mail is sent
I'm running win XP pro but have taken the CDONTS.DLL from my win 2000 pc and
done the regsv32 etc etc
maybe I should try to use CDOSYS but
a) I haven't a clue how and so
b) I copied a script directly from a help page which didn;'t work either!
c) the eventual host server is running NT4

Sending mails using CDONTS works great but I have (for now) just 1 minor problem.
I would like to place the username (of the person located in my database) inside my input-box (type="text") and send that as a page to the person using cdonts.
here's a part of my code (simplified):
HTML = HTML & "<html>"
HTML = HTML & "<head>"
HTML = HTML & "</head>"
HTML = HTML & "<body>"
HTML = HTML & Email: <input type=""text"" name=""email"" value=""<% = strEmail %>"">
HTML = HTML & "</form>"
HTML = HTML & "</body>"
MyCDO.Body = HTML
So the problem arises at line 5 here. He does not understand the asp-tags inside the text. Anyone who knows how to solve this?

I had to write a page in ASP which sends an email. I googled and was able to write the following code:
<html>
<body>
<%
Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
Mail.To = "XXXXXXXXXXXX@XXXXXX.COM"
Mail.From = "YYYYYYYYY@YYYYY.COM"
Mail.Subject = "Test MAIL Subject"
Mail.Body = " Body Body Body Body Body Bodyody Body Body"
If Mail.Send Then
Response.Write("Mail has been sent successfully")
Else
Response.Write("Mail Sending Failed")
End If
Set Mail = nothing
%>
</body>
</html>
When I run this script on a shared hosting server, It's saying "Mail
Sending Failed". I had never written ASP code before and couldn't find
what the reason is.. I also checked whether CDONTS.NewMail component
is available.

I just found out that CDONTS was indeed installed on our web server so I've been playing around with some easy sample codes. However, when I run the code, nothing happens. I get no errors, it seems like everything went OK, but no email! Are there firewall issues with CDONTS? If so, how can I work around them?

I'm not sure if CDONTS is loaded or what is wrong. On a new 2003 Web server w/FP extentions but mail is not being sent. In and ASP page I have:
set objSendMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
Which worked fine when I was using an NT 4 and IIS 4 or 5

The code itself is working, this is more of a cosmetic thing for me...
lets say objRS("memail") = Join Bytes!
strEmail = objRS("memail") & ";bill.clinton@aol.com"
Mail.CC= strEmail
When the person (Mail.To) get's the message, the header only shows the objRS
value, followed by a semicolon, the bill.clinton address doesn't show up,
although he does get the email.
So, if the 'to' was for Sally Brown, when she get's the email, she only
see's one name on the CC line, in this case tom.petersen, she doesn't know
it went to bill.clinton as well, unless of course she does a reply to all,
then his name will show in the CC part.
Again, the code works, but I am trying ot get it to display right and was
wondering if it's the code, as it usually is in my case!

After I run my cdon't.asp file, I saw a successful message saying "mail sent". Then, I went to open my inbox but find no mail. So, I went back to c:inetpubmailroot, I saw a folder called queue and saw that mail there. How do I solve this problem?

I am working with CDONTS mail object. The code doesn't give any syntax error; but, actually it doesn't work because I don't know how to give my local sever's machine name in the Mail Object's .From property. :P What is the machine name? Could any one give me the right format? Where do I know the machine name from? I tired by right clicking "My Computer" and seeing it's properties. But, I think that's not the machine name.

Let me first outline the environment. The ASP app is running on a Windows 2000 Server within a large controlled network. I know Exchange Server is not required on this server for messages to be forwarded but I have to believe that the Exchage Server on the domain is the only way messages are passed once they leave the Web server.
If the domain's Exchange Server goes down what will happen to messages generated by the ASP app using CDONTS? Will the Web server's SMTP server continue to attempt delivery or do they just get dumped into the bad mail folder?

I am trying to send e-mails to customers in a database. Each e-mail is customised for each customer, so I cannot simply copy all customers on the same e-mail. My logic loops through the appropriate recordset and attempts to send a notification e-mail to each customer. The problem is that about 10 - 20% of the e-mails do not get sent! (I know this because I :bcc myself on all the e-mails.) I also know that there is no problem with the e-mail addresses because when I try again to run the program with the same addresses but a smaller list of customers, those mails go out just fine.
The program generates a report which shows that it tried to send all the appropriate e-mails, but in reality several of the mails were not sent. What's interesting is that all of the e-mails near the beginning of the program execution get sent. But as the program goes on, more and more get skipped. It seems that CDONTS cannot keep up with the program execution.
Does anyone know of a way to solve this? What would be great would be a DO... WHILE loop that kept trying until the e-mail was sent successfully. But, for that approach to work, there would have to be some way for the program to check if the e-mail had gone out successfully. Another option would be a loop that waited until the *previous* e-mail had been sent successfully before attempting to send the next one.
Does anyone know of a way to test either of those conditions or of an alternate approach to avoid this problem I am having?

I have to ask for some help on this simple task. I have a form that I want to sent via email. I made an asp mail form/file that looks like this:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" name="aspmail.asp" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<p> </p>
<p><input type="text" name="T1" size="20"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Ib have linked this form via POST to my aspmail.asp cdonts code. This looks like like this:
Code:
<%
Dim objMail
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objConfig = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
'Configuration:
objConfig.Fields(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
objConfig.Fields(cdoSMTPServer)="smtp.1and1.com"
objConfig.Fields(cdoSMTPServerPort)=25
objConfig.Fields(cdoSMTPAuthenticate)=cdoBasic
objConfig.Fields(cdoSendUserName) = "mdinrune-1"
objConfig.Fields(cdoSendPassword) = "rtdhe"
'Update configuration
objConfig.Fields.Update
Set objMail.Configuration = objConfig
objMail.From ="info@justonedomain.com"
objMail.To = "kmuel@aol.net"
objMail.Subject ="Information"
objMail.TextBody="This is a test for CDO.message"
objMail.Send
If Err.Number = 0 Then
Response.Write("Mail sent!")
Else
Response.Write("Error sending mail. Code: " & Err.Number)
Err.Clear
End If
Set objMail=Nothing
Set objConfig=Nothing
%>
Can anyone point out why this is not working? It should work.

I'm sending an email in ASP using CDONTS and I'm trying to attach a file from the user's machine (i.e. client side) and right now it works... BUT what im doing now is having the user upload the file and it is saved on the server in the temp directory, then once the email is sent, the file is deleted.
So here's the question... Is there a way to attach a file using only the file info and data - i.e. without saving the file to the server. I have a pure asp upload include file that will let me view a file's data in binray format and I was wondering how I could use this to attach the file.
So to reiterate, can I attach a file that is not saved on the server... any takers?

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?

objSendMail.Body = "This is the Body text of this test mail."
objSendMail.Send

Of course, the the email addresses above are real on my ASP page.
After the above code is executed, I don't receive any email.

Anyone got much of a clue how best to send emails to selected people from a database table and to be able to track them, maybe as much as a read receipt, or perhaps just checking that they don't bounce, or end up in the bad mail folder.
Is this best/possible to try and code or is there a free/cheap component that does this simply.

I just took over maintaining an ASP codebase for sending out
newsletters by mail, as well as basic subscriber maintenance.
Thing is working ok today, with ~200 subscribers, but there are plans
on selling this 'solution' to clients with substantially higher
demands; at least in the low 1000's..
Would you consider asp suitable for this purpose? Would be a
definitive plus not having to use other technology, but i'm concerned
about timeouts and whatnot while sending out such a batch of mail.
Guess it could be made workable with tons and tons of logging, and
maybe generating a client redirect every X mails, to restart/keep the
script going?
Or is it perhaps possible to fork off a new thread and do this as a
real background task? I'm not too knowledgeable on ASP, and neither
was the guy who wrote this system in the first place, unfortunately.

I have a test and production environment. The code works fine on test
but behaves erractically in production. The script needs to email people
who are subscribed to a particular service. On test it is a small list
but the list on production is fairly large. Does the CDO object have a
maximum number of people that can be BCCed? I also have email addresses
with hyphens in them, are there special characters, (other than @), that
have to be respected? I have seen some other posting with people having
issues with the CDO object and one of the suggestions is to:
# Try using a SendUsing value of 1 (pickup) instead of 2 (port). E.g.
the following line:
cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 2
Becomes
cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 1
What is the difference between these two? The webserver is juts using
the default SMTP server, is it going to work with a setting of
cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 1? Where are they picking it
up from?
