I have an online classifeds website and would like to send automatic reminder emails to advertisers 3 days before their advertisement expires.
I am able to send emails via CDONTS from a form but are unsure how to extract the date details from the database 3 days from the renewal date and send an email to all relevant advertisers . I have an Access database attached to the web pages.
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?
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.
For a project I am doing I would like to offer customers the chance to recieve notifications of an order by e-mail, SMS or MSN messenger. Is this possible using asp and without spending any money!
View Replies View RelatedI need some advice on how to write an email script in asp. I am farely new to asp but so far i have manage to understand most of the materials i've covered for this language except for sending emails from a form.
I've read the following tutorial ->URL twice, but i can't get the script working.
What am i doing wrong?
I am working on my personal box at home, do i need to have a mail server running? do i need to have addtional asp component install?
I have emails being created and sent using CDO and it is working well but, the email is being sent twice. I only call the .send once (per person) but it comes through twice.
Code:
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
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 a page that allows user input. On click of the submit button I call a javascript function that verifies that all of the fields are filled out and then submits the form. I need to add code after the verification that creates and sends an email. I know how to do this in VBscript, but don't know how to call a vbscript function from a jscript function (is this even possible?).
View Replies View RelatedI have about 5000 emails in my database. I wrote a basic script that sends
an email to all of those email addresses. Usually I have to break it up and
only send 300-400 at a time so my script does not timeout.
I know I can up my timeout to 45 minutes if I needed to, so that they could
all be sent at once, but I do not believe that is a wise decision.
Does any know of any other ways to do this more efficiently?
I have a Client Mailer page which basically sends emails off containing information specific to each client = email address found in the relevant database. I basically get this to simply loop through the client recordset (recordset.moveNext), and on each loop it sends an email to the relevant email address via CDOSYS.
Can I just check that this is ok, and this could :
a. Not have a maximum amount of clients this could send to, and basically be too much for the page to cope with if there were too many clients to loop through?
b. This could not cause some sort of Email block due to the server thinking it is spamming, etc.?
This was something someone mentioned, which I just wanted to check out!, as they suggested changing it to a Javascript refresh page, whereby it will send an email every 6 seconds for example by refreshing the page with Js, but I don't really want to change it to this unless I have to... as I was hoping the way in which I have it with the recordset loop, that it would be ok.
I have an application form and as the user finishes the application form, an email is sent to the user to notify him/her that he/she has successfully been registered...what i want to do is that another email is sent to me at the same time to notify me that a new user has registered...is there a way to do it by only defining one CDO or do i need to create two CDO(s)...i mean:
Set objMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objMail2 = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
.
.
etc...
can someone please advice me if this is the right way?

set msg = Server.CreateOBject( "JMail.Message" )
It works fine in my local server, but when I send my ASP page to Network Solutions it doesn't work. I guess it is because I can not run the JMail installation program at their server, therefor the object can not be created. Is there another tools I can use instead. Something that doesn't require installation, I guess.

any suggestions?
I need a way to show the client that the emails are being sent and how many are left. The way I want to do this, is by opening a window which will send the emails and display the status. The problem is how do I pass it the subject, body and so on. I don't want to use a querystring. I thought of doing it like so:
onSubmit = progress() - this will call a js script which will open the progress window
action = (the page that gets all the values from the form and sends the email)
Is there a way to update the popup window from the "action" page? for example: everytime an email is sent... increase a variable and send it to the popup window, and then close it when its done.

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:

1.1) 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.

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.
View Replies View RelatedI'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.
