Reminder Emails
I don't necessarily need code here, just some guidance to my thought process.
I have built a system for a hospital where users can sign up for classes that the hospital offers. Now, I want to be able to send the users a reminder email a day or so before the event/class. In the database, I have all the user's info in one table. Another table holds the registrations with keys to the user table and the key to the table that has a listing of the classes.
How do I now go about automatically looking through the class table to find out if there is a class in the next 24 hours, and then send an email to all the people registered for that class?

How do I this reminder? An applicant has submitted a leave application on 1 Jan 2005. If superior didn't approve / reject that leave application, a reminder will be sent to that superior again.
I already have the code on sending email but just wonder what code should I have to tell the system to automatically, run a code in certain time like the above case. I think I need my code should be in my global.asa file, isn't it?

This message is being brought to you by a few of your friendly neighborhood ASP programming solution providers:
Please attempt to solve your own problems before posting to Sitepoint. I know I (and other persons who will remain anonymous) find it a little irritating when one (or more) of the following happens:
1) We can type your question into Google and the answer is the first hit that comes up.
1.1) We can type your question into Sitepoint's search and the answer is the first hit that comes up.
2) Your question is answered two posts below your question.
3) The answer requires merely looking up the appropriate object/function in the ASP/VBScript references. *
4) Two or three minutes after posting your question, you post "Oh, nevermind, I got it." without even referencing the solution so other people with the same question will know how you did it.
* Note that we will be VERY happy to provide you with links to these kinds of references (and indeed already have in the Important ASP Resources thread - which happens to be marked important twice) upon your request (I know of at least one individual who links these references in his signature also).
Now, please don't think that I'm ranting and raving. I'm just trying to inform those persons who do the above on a regular basis. It grows tiresome when I login for the day and all 5 new posts are questions that are easily answered with a simple link that could have been found if the one who posted the question would have spent 30 seconds researching his/her problem.
Mentors, Advisors, and Sitepoint Team Members:
If the opinions of this post are contrary to that of Sitepoint, please let us know. I would suspect that you would like us to spend our time on questions that are not easily answered instead of just repeating information which is already easily accessible.

I just started learning ASP and I need to set up a very basic password reminder service for my website. Basically I just want the user to input their email address and get an email with their password sent to them.

I've read the thread on how to design an automatic email reminder system, but does anyone have any tutorials or code on how to set it up using Access 2000 and/or SQL Server?
There are no articles on the net (that I could find) related to automatically sending a user an email at a set date and time from 1 table of a database.
From what I can gather, I may need to use a stored procedure, but there's no tutorial on how to design or implement this.

I want to send the registerd users on my web site emails on a specific time automatically for example: a birthdate reminder.
But I need this to be done automatically when the time reached as they specified in the registeration form. Others said to me that the only available ways is to make an application for this, and make it run forever on the server to check the DB, and when the time reached it sends the reminders.

I've already retrieved the users password from the database - I just
need to send it to the email address entered.
From reading many posts, I need a server-side script and rather not
use form mailto: nor use javascript on the users PC.

What is the best option?Im writing a forum so i need a universal solution...
This means i cant use something like ASPEmail as not all ASP servers have this.
So what do i use? Someone suggested to me CDONTS but then said you have to set up the server or something.Do all web servers have this pre configured.

Is there any way we can send off an email from a web hosting server that does not support CDONTS and cannot register any components to their server. They have no SMTP server as well.
IS there any web site that supports any one of these for FREE or better yet is there any other way to send off an email without CDONTS and components? Is it possible to like redirect to another mail with just scripting?
Appreciate any response to this matter.

I am working on a piece of software that needs to store email data in a SQL server table. Been flicking around and it looks like the ASP mail components are a good way to go. Basically I will be recieving mails from a pop3 server (prob outlook) and using the same program to put the data in a database.

Has anyone had or heard of IIS not passing emails or SSL connections, thereby disconnecting or making the server useless?
I had a virus that seems to have done this.

I have an exchange server, that I sometimes use to perform mail shots to
clients on our database, these can be upwards of 1000 at a time.
As we don't want different clients to see who we are working with we put
these mailshots in the bcc field of the mails.
This can sometimes cause a problem as we are getting alot of mails bounced
back. I would like to write a script to have these emails sent
out individually using the to: field of the mail. I have googled for
examples of doing this but haven't found anything useful yet

When sending long emails a mysterious space-character is added after a
certain number of characters. Any idea why that happens?
I am using a Dundas Mailer control (if that matters) called from an asp
script.

I need to send a set of Emails from my application (reminders) each month
1st. Is there anyway in ASP scripts to trigger an event to run
automatically? I have no dedicated server, so no DLLs or Scheduler scripts
can be used. Also adding the trigger script in the application object may
not send emails in time, as we have not enough visitors to that application.
Is there any way other than 'Clicking a Send button'

Im searching around how to send emails but it doesnt seem to be working for me. They stay in the queue and research tells me that a firewall might be blocking them from being sent.
This is in the events log: "The remote server did not respond to a connection attempt."
Is there a way to send the email via the user's mail program?

i have to do a few stuff in ASP for a client. I'm used to code in PHP but I'll manage to do it...
I just have a question though. The app will have to send an email with sensitive data (cc info). The pages dealing dealing with these info are secured (SSL) but what about the email? Can you encrypt it? Is it safe to send an email just like that or should you do something to secure your data? If yes, what are the measueres to be taken?

I wonder how I would go about an email tracker using ASP. I need this for the database to capture all unsubscribe requests. For instance, someone emails "unsubscribe@domain" I should be able to catch that email, get who emailed it and record that to my unsubscribe table. Also I am using a a commercial mail server (ability mail server) and not the virtual smtp server which comes along with IIS.

I have an application which sends out emails in HTML format. I have a problem when I am trying to display images in the email (name of the image file is taken from database).
The problem is that if there is a space in the image file name, it displays a + (PLUS sign) and does not display the photo in GMAIL and other emails. The URL of the image gets displayed in the following manner:
3_Marathon+Crescent_Toronto_1.jpg+
How do I solve this + (PLUS sign) issue?
