Since I want to be able to send a confirmation e-mail (containing user name/pwd etc.) to every visitor that enters some info in a form on my web page I wonder how that is done.
I have heard about SMTP and CDO but don't know the differences or which one is applicable in my case
I'm running xp-pro and use my computer as a web server but don't know if I have SMTP installed (or how to use it if it actually is there).
I need no send birthday emails every day. I need something to check everyday on my database for birthdays, but I don't have any components to do that and I dont have rights to install it on my webserver.
Is there a way to do it without installing anything? Only through asp?
How do I tell if an ActiveX control is installed (and working)?
View Replies View Relatedi want to know that how can i send automatically daily newsletter to my users.
i have started a newsletter service recently and want that everyday newsletter from database shall be sent to the users.
i also want to send newsletter on particular date in future as per selection made by the users themselves.
I'm trying to write a script that will send a automatic email either on loading the thanks you for ordering page. or the one before that where the order is placed pressing a order now button, it can only be send when the button is pressed and the order has been placed in the database.
Now I've writen a test script to figure out how this whole automatic emailing works but I can't get it to work. I hope someone can tell me what is wrong. Code:
I'm developing an application which has subscribers entered into a SQL Server database.
Their subscription is monthly, and requires that automatic emails are triggered 1 week, 2 days then 1 day before their subscription expires.
How would this be best done?
I've heard of third party cron services which could be used to trigger a script, but the script would then need to be 'open' to the web for the cron service to access it - which is not very secure.
The other option would be to trigger emails from the database directly, but I'm a total beginner at SQL so am not sure how difficult this would be?
I was able to send email via the server in both .NET and ASP (using CDO for ASP). However I had to configure a SMTP server for this to work, which means the email will be sent via the server's SMTP service. so this could mean a lot of overload on the server. So as to reduce the work on the server, is there another way to send email to people?
View Replies View RelatedI am having problems trying to send emails using IIS 5.1 and ASP on a XP Pro box
I think that it is a configuration problem in my SMTP setup
I can send emails using Telnet but when I send via ASP they all end up in the Queue folder
ASP is not generating any error messages
Have tried code using CDO and CDONTS but I do not think it is a code issue
Sometimes I get a system event error saying that cannot do a DNS lookup on my send address
Any suggestions please

It seem that I did not configure the SMTP service on a Windows 2000 server correctly because all the email is been sent to InetpubmailrootQueue directory. Do I need to install Outlook for the email to send the mail to the recipient?
View Replies View RelatedMy question is do ASP need to declare smtp server when send email using CDonts function?
View Replies View RelatedI am running Win XP and have installed the IIS SMTP service, however I'm not sure what I need to do to configure both the SMTP service and CDOSYS properly to allow me to send out email from an ASP script.
THE PROBLEM:
What is happening is the email is not sent and goes to the 'c:InetpubmailrootQueue' folder. I have checked the event viewer and the error I receive is:
Message delivery to the remote domain 'yahoo.com' failed for the following reason: The remote server did not respond to a connection attempt.
I believe the SMTP service isn't setup correctly or I haven't configured CDOSYS properly in my ASP script.
The CDOSYS part of my ASP script is setup as follows (I am using Javascript with ASP btw):
Code: .....
I have a CDONTS script which has been sending mail from a client's website form to their address. However, the script has suddenly stopped working after three years of working fine. It doesn't error, they just don't receive the mail any more. I've tried CCing myself in the script and can confirm the mail is not getting through. The script itself is tried and tested and syntaxially correct, and it is hosted on a windows 2000 server which has not been changed or reconfigured at all recently.
I think the problem is because they're using their own exchange server, not the web hosts' mail server. Therefore I would expect that mail sent from the web script wouldn't go through because there is no local mail server to process it.
The problem is that the script hasn't changed, the host say their system hasn't changed, and the client's IT team say their exchange settings haven't changed!?!
I could set up a CDOSYS script to use their Exchange server to deal with the email, but their IT support won't allow relaying, so I don't think this is possible.
Is connecting to their Exchange box the only option, or should the website host still be able to process the web-script-generated mail despite not being their mail provider? I'm getting a lot of grief here, but it can't be the script that has suddenly broken because nobody has touched it!
I use CDOsys and this code to specify the recipient. I guess I could create two separate instances of the objMail and specify everything one more time, but I want to send mails to two persons at once (the recipient and myself) and therefore wonder if there is a shorter way to do it.
View Replies View RelatedI want to send e-mails from my asp pages but don't know how to achieve that. I have tried to create CDO/CDONTS server objects but without luck. I guess I don't have SMTP installed or not configured appropriately.
Can you help me here? What do I need to do (and if complicated how is it done) to get an SMTP server up an running?
I am working on a listing for sending emails via CDONTS component...
I have installed SMTP service on my machine and tried running the sample code....No errors appear, yet no mail is sent in the long run...All necessary services are up and running (IIS Admin, WWW and SMTP).
Another thing is that i have checked to see if Default SMTP Virtual Server is listed under the Internet Services Manager pane tree, but nothing seems to be there except Default FTP Site and Default Web Site....
The question might seem silly but...do i have to have a Mail Server installed.....?
How can i determine the cause that prevents the mail from being sent...Logs don't help much....Is there a way to detect the actual presence of the component...?
on one's computer locally like PHP where I design offline?

View Replies View RelatedI have my asp successfully creating excel file viewable through IE
using the header:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
If the user does not have excel installed they get a IE pop up that
downloads the asp page in question.
My question is there anyway to interrupt this and tell them that they
don't have EXCEL installed, rather than showing this download pop up.
I need to detect if a users browser is Java enabled for a certain function on my site. If it's not enabled I need to direct them to a page telling the member that, else continue and load the applet. I don't dabble in ASP at all but I've exhausted all other methods.I've tried the following code (as a test) which loads up the redirect regardless of Java status.
If Len(Session("AppletFileArchive")) = 0 Then
Response.Redirect "somewhere.php"
End If
I was searching for a code that allows me to know when anyone installs a script I made.
This code sends me an email including the URL of the installed script.
lots of acronyms in that title! Anyway, this is probably a stupid question because it seems as if you do but could someone confirm? I keep getting 500 errors when attempting to run the pages.

i am trying harder to mix this 2 solutions... but without success... the below on seen to be grabing a template and replace the data with the values posted in a form Code:
View Replies View RelatedI am working on asp and ms sql.
I have created a table called as 'usertable' in ms sql database. The columns in 'usertable' are username, loginid, password. The record gets added to this table, when a new user makes a fresh registration.
Eg: username = 'david'
loginid='daveuser'
password='newpass'
So My question is whenever a new user is added to a table, an automatic mail should come to me 'pra123@yahoo.com' mentioning that a new user is added to table ALONG WITH HIS USERNAME, LOGINID, PASSWORD.
All this information should come to my email account automatically. So how to write ASP Code for this.
I need to some how do the following and if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it very much.
I have a form that the user would fill out. When he/she clicks submit it goes into another page that reviews the information that the user typed in the previous form. If all of the information is good for the user there's another button in that page that they would have to click.
This is what I want to happen after they click on this button. I want to record the data in a SQL database, which I know how to do that, but what I want to happen automatically right after inserting the data in the SQL database is that I want the same data to be carried over to another page where there'll be another form and want that data to be populated in this new form. How do I do that?
