I am trying to send out a mass email newsletter. I have 600+ subscribers in our SQL Server Database. Well, is ASPMail (Server Object's product) good for this? If so I have some concerns about the error handling and assuring people don't continue to recieve the same email. Does anyone have expierence with this? If so, what is your advice?
View RepliesI 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?
I currently developing a Email marketing application using asp and aspemail for a client. They requested the application to be able to mass email to their client that is store in an access database. So how can i initiate the application email to all the email store in the database?
View Replies View RelatedI am testing a mass emailer that I will be sending out this week. I use ASP to read email addresses from a db table which is contains a list of email addresses of those who will receive the email blast. I have included myself to see the results of the test. I noticed when I received the email, the body or content of the email was repeated as many times as there are people in the email list the code was reading from.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong in the code below?
Code: ....
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"

I am trying to use ASP to send an email programmatically.
I have created a signup page that sends a randomly created password to the user when they sign up.
To send the email I am using ASPmail which is installed on my server, I have also set it so if an error occurs it says what it is. But it says that the mail is being sent but then it is never received by the user. Does anybody know why this is? Code:
Since 2000, I have built a web site for a client in ASP, using CDO mail. All has been well, and I have getting extension projects from them <g>. But while I was away on the holiday over Christmas, the "IT dept." has decided to rationalise all the web servers (ok)... and standardise on one mail component (ok)... and they have chosen and bought ASPmail without consultation with me.
This will break a lot of my code (syntax is very different)... and a junior in-house developer has been assigned the task of making my site work with the changes. he is struggling, not knowing my application very well, and it will take him a lot of time. Is this a bid for *control* by the pointy-heads.. or does ASPmail really have some good stuff going for it?
We have a client with a site hosted on Verio which is running ASPMail
4.x
I need to send an email to the client with an attachment, however, I'd
prefer not to create the attachment on the local drive first. I rather
create it in memory and then attach the memory images as a file to the
email.
Is that possible in ASPMail? The online docs are pretty sparse.
I am trying to create a confirmation email that is sent out when the client places an order, I have looked into ASPMail as recommended by my ISP and downloaded an eval version to test locally (IIS WIN2000pro) but when I run it it comes back saying this evaluation version has expired.
Which as you can imagine is not really helping my frustration levels. Anyways, would anyone happen to know where I can find a recent usable download of Evaluation ASPMail?If so please list it here.

I can find a lot of forms that are just sending a basic form but I can't find anything that has the encryption.

View Replies View RelatedI 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 table in SQL server, that has three columns:
ID, Asset, Keywords.
i.e.
ID Asset Keywords
1 Car Mercedes
2 Car Toyota
3 Color Blue
Ok, what I'm trying to do through my asp page (since I cannot do it through SQL, seeing as how it appears that what I want to achieve would be outside the scope of why it was created)... is I'm trying to run a query that will get a list of the assets available and then string the keywords for that asset to a variable.

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 just had a problem where I needed to update a bunch of records from a single form submission. I am sure there are lots of better ways to solve this, but I offer the code I came up with. Also I’m asking if there are any better ways.
The form page had a form in it with a table. Each row in the table had a database record in it. In each row, sat the input field titled “myOrder” and a hidden field called “myID”. The table was a repeat region, so that each field was populated dynamically from each record in the database. The number of records was dynamic in that they increased or decreased by the category the user was in.
The page submitted to my mass_update page.
Here is the relevant part of the code that took each “myID” and “myOrder” data and then updated the database record:...

View Replies View RelatedI'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.
my page(searchresults.asp) will show all the results that you searched for.. These results are from the sql server. All the datas are different. On the right of every record, there is a checkbox.
Now is the scenario..
After all records are shown, I will check a few checkboxes. Then i will click the button. All the data that is checked will be inserted in the sql server. But the thing is that all data records is different..
Its actually kinda off like the hotmail, where you checked a few boxes and put them into a different folder..
What would be the best approach to sending a mass email out without clogging the server or running the risk that emails maybe lost (possibly due to a timeout).
Currently, I've been given the task with sending out a monthly newsletter to our customers (upon request of course). It is an easy task from what I can tell, simply bcc all the emails, set HTMLBody and TextBody and send it off. But, I will be sending this to 5000 clients and dont want any dropped emails.
Plus, is there a way to determine failed email address (due to bad domain names, bad email address, etc) and report it to the web application?

View Replies View RelatedI've been doing ASP by hand-coding in either Homesite or Interdev for years. I have been using Dreamwever for static sites that I make on the side. I recently was asked to make a form which will store info in an Access database, and thought it would be a good chance to learn how to use Dreamweaver MX's ASP capabilities.
Haven't tried it yet, but reading up on it, it seems that it forces you to use Session variables. I'm not a big fan of session variables, and want to avoid them. Anyone here use DW MX for ASP?
This questions is a little one sided, I used to have the connection to the database on the site until I learned about the global.asa and since then all my sites have used it. I don't know the benefits of this file vs any other methods so I have to ask. But first let me explain.
I have a site, one of the many using the global.asa, it works 2 Microsoft access databases that run pretty much simultaneously on the site. Today, my host sends me an email telling me that they are open constantly and it's causing them problems on their shared server. So I modified the asa to close the database after every session and the host I had done so. They replied shortly after saying that a session could be open for 20 minutes before closing and they did not see this amend as helping the problem. So I'm looking for an alternate method.
The site itself is a collection database with over 1,200 user accounts, I have absolutely no idea how many of these user accounts are actually in use, but that is how many registered users there are in the database. Most of the regular users probably visit every day or two and I know that the admin (of about 8) visits daily to update the records unless there is nothing to add.
I've been given 7 days to solve this problem or they will close this particular site down. So in this case, is global.asa a good idea? If not, what method could I use to minimise the database being opened?
I need to learn ASP. Can anyone recommend a good ASP book for me. Also is there a good ASP manual online such as PHP.net for PHP.
