I am having a problem formatting an email message which comes from a form.
I am currently having difficulty with the <br> tag which I am using for line spaces within my email. I am getting an expected statement error message which is pointing to the line which is underlined below. I can't think what is causing this.
The code for my processing page is below:-
All of my previous web page work has been done with .html and Cold Fusion. My new host does not support cold fusion but does have ASP 3.0 and ASP.Net 1.1. They've told me that I have to use CDO.Sys for sending email. I've spent the past 3 days doing all the research I can find but most of the examples assume a basic knowledge of ASP (which I am severly lacking in).
I have a simple .html form (4 fields) that currently DOES get sent through email (although it is sent as plain text). I would like to be able to send an email that is formatted into html (allowing me to use tables, images, etc.
Here is what I have so far (I've commented out the "text" based part and am trying to send as an html email now).
<% @ Language="VBscript" %>
<% Option Explicit %> .....
I made an contact form, and an asp script for the email, but my messages get sent to the mail/queue folder in inetpub. I have a hunch it has something to do with the email address I put in the "from" area since it's just made up.
I'm using cdonts object, and registered the dll, and it works fine. I also opened port 25 on my router, and tested if it really was open, and it is. Code:
Can anyone take a look at this code and see where I may be going wrong?

Here are the two pages html and calling the asp. As you can see I am new to this. I also had our Network Admin make sure CDONTS was installed correctly on IIS. Any help would be awesome. I have been trying to create an email form for months now......
How to I wrap this to process the information as HTML EMail?
I have enabled all the HTML options in the script but I still get a text email:....
i recently finished a tutorial on cdonts and finished putting together the page and form etc. now ive been reading and it seems cdonts is being discontinued and cdosys is taking over. does this mean that my cdonts will not work and i have to trnasfer it to cdosys ?
how can i transfer it to cdosys ? or do i have to make a completely new mail script?
Code: ....
I have Road Runner cable internet access and Im working in a local development environment (writing .ASP) and have a site running on my network on a windows xp pro machine via IIS with CDONTS installed.
When I try to send a confirmation email (simple text) via CDONTS the message is built but remains on the server in the QUEUE folder ... how can I tweak the SMTP settings on the server to allow me to send email out from the server...
just the occassional test as I develop sites - not looking to spam and have a fairly full featured router to block external access to SMTP machine so its not abused.
i used the following script but it won't send the email. any suggestions why?
<%
Dim TBdy
Dim MyCDO
CR = Chr(13)
Set MyCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
MyCDO.From = "person@something.org"
MyCDO.To = "allstar@aol.com"
MyCDO.Subject = "collegebound info"
TBdy = Request.Form("cb_name")
MyCDO.Body = TBdy
MyCDO.Importance = 1 (Normal)
MyCDO.Send

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".
Just starting to play with scripts, and need a little guidance. I want to check to make sure that the email addresses users enter in a form are identical before it will allow them to submit. here's what i have:
the variable for the second email address is EmailFrom2
'validation
Dim validationOK
validationOK=true
If (Trim(EmailFrom)="") Then validationOK=false
If (validationOK=false) Then Response.Redirect("emailerror.htm?" & EmailFrom)
If (Trim(Name)="") Then validationOK=false
If (validationOK=false) Then Response.Redirect("nameerror.htm?")
If (Trim(CityState)="") Then validationOK=false
If (validationOK=false) Then Response.Redirect("citystateerror.htm?")
If (Trim(SchoolName)="") Then validationOK=false
If (validationOK=false) Then Response.Redirect("schoolnameerror.htm?")
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?
I need to include images into the body of an email I am sending. Not to sure how to do this. Is it possible to use css in an email? Code:
View Replies View RelatedI 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?
I have this:
1 emailBody = "<html>" & vbCrLf _
2 & "<head>" & vbCrLf _
3 & "<title>Interpreter Request details</title> " &
vbCrLf _
4 & "</head> " & vbCrLf _
5 & "<body> " & vbCrLf _
6 & "<font face=Verdana><b>Interpreter Request
details: " & vbCrLf _
7 & "Requestor: </b><u> <% strFName strLName %></u>"
& vbCrLf _
...
& "</body> " & vbCrLf _
& "</html> " & vbCrLf
In line 7, I need to display the results of the variables strFName and
strLName (and have a space in between the two) but I don't know the proper
formatting. If I just use the & then I get the literal strFname instead of
the value. Could someone please show me the correct syntax for this?
what does it mean when I don't get an error, but I also don't recieve the email?

The problem is when I send out the emails in my company's internal server,everything turns out fine but when I use the external mail server, the Japanese email suject turns garbled. I've been trying to get this done for ages and my deadline is nearing now.

I'm having an issue sending email to AOL accounts using CDONTS on my server. The emails always fail. Has anyone else had this problem? Email is always delivered to other accounts problem free, I just dont know why AOL is rejecting the mail.

I am trying to send an email using CDONTS, and I am having troubles with newlines. There was a past thread a while back that said to use vbNewLine to insert a break in the message, but I still can't get it to work.
I used vbNewLine, vbCrLf, chr(10) & chr(13) and my text still continues to flow right along. I want to keep it plain text rather than HTML.
Just curious... Some webapps that I develop could be deployed on older NT
systems OR Win2K3...
Is there a simple test for CDO/CDONTs that I can use in code so I could
implement both routines and use the one that's existing on the server?
my CDONTS email isn't sending.. I think the code is set up correctly but I'm not positive. Is there a way to specify a mail server, if necessary? It seems to be going through without a hitch but the emails are never arriving, to any box I send them to. So perhaps our server needs some sort of authentication before permitting outgoing mails, I'm not really sure. Is there a way to check this?
I have our form set up on a standard html page, with a "action=process.asp" command..

it gets to the thank you message every time, but nothing ever arrives in my mailboxes...
I am rather new to cdonts and using email. I am planing an email site, however I am not sure how the email is stored on the server nor do i know how to read it from the server. I would guess that it is stored in a database, if so how would it be populated?
View Replies View RelatedI 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.
I've tried to send a mail using CDONTS.DLL but the mail goes in to

Mailer.From = "expediteur@email.com"
Mailer.Subject = "Titre du message"
Mailer.Body = "Le texte qui sera envoyé"
Mailer.Importance = 0
Mailer.BodyFormat = 0
Mailer.MailFormat = 0
if not Mailer.Send then
response.write ("mail envoye")
else
response.write ("Mail non envoyé. Erreur : ") & Err.Description
end if
Set Mailer = Nothing

1.info submission page -cust enters his info
2.info summary -cust info summarised plus quote calculated
3.invoice page -quote emailed for invoicing.

I am using the following set of commands to send a formatted email:
"AllTopQuestions" actually pulls out formatted text (including all html tags and inverted commas). - - If this text is ascii and not formatted, the mail goes out fine. But, once the text in the database gets formatted, the outgoing mail contains no body at all. Code:
Can someone review and give me some hints. Also when I define my mail object using, "Dim objCDOMail As CDONTS.NewMail", I receive an http error. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI have a script that I've been using for years that emails my customer a confirmation, and bcc's me a copy. It's just a standard CDONTS script, nothing tricky, and I'm sure that it's scripted correctly. I've been having intermitant problems for the better part of a year where on occasion I won't get the email, but the customer will.
This problem seems to come in spurts where it will 'be down' for a few days, and then it will work again, with no change by anyone. Most of the time when it goes down, I get an email about a day later that is a bounce, saying that my address doesn't exist, and it's being returned to sender (which is me, at the same address!). I think there is something screwy with the way my provider has either our server or email server setup, but after at least a dozen trouble tickets, they don't seem to have fixed anything.
Has anyone ever seen this? Bottom line is what could cause the script to work every time to an outside address but intermitantly not to one within the domain?
how to restrict email attachment file type as well as file size? If anybody has idea about it.?
View Replies View RelatedI'm running Win2K... and have an ASP script that uses the CDONTS object properties to send email from a web-enabled ASP form. Problem is, the page is loading fine, with no errors. However, when I check the '/queue' folder in my Inetpub directory, I see all my mail queued there. It never gets sent. There are no emails in the '/badmail' folder, or in any other folder in '/mailroot'. What gives?
I'm kinda vague on how SMTP works exactly, in Win2K. What I'm trying to do is to send email over a LAN to a client. I want to avoid installing MS Exchange Server if possible. Am just trying to have a client on the LAN send email, and then have the client's Outlook retrieve said mail. All this done offline, without ever connecting to the Net.
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?
I have a script that send emails using CDONTS. There are users that have keyboards that support Spanish characters. I am able to render the chars correctly in the body using HTML substitutions, however, the subject line comes out bad. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
