Creating Bulk Email Through Cdosys.dll
is it possible to rn a client side vbscript to send messages using cdo.message and cdo.configuration? what are the requirements to do this? my wks are xp and 2000 and all have cdosys.dll registered. do i have to have outlook express loaded.
i have workstations that don't have outlook but rather lotus notes and want to send email to an smtp server. these emails have local attachment thus the need to run client script versus server scripts. is this possible or am i on the wrong track.

Novice here, I am doing bulk emails using CDO, connection to a smtp
server at another location. I am trying to streamline my script, or
through it out and start over to make it faster.
I know that I am doing something wrong and that messages should be
sending much faster.
Set objConfig = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Fields = objConfig.Fields
With Fields
.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod)= cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "blah.com"
.Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 25
.Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 10
.Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoBasic
.Item(cdoSendUserName) = "blah@blah.com"
.Item(cdoSendPassword) = "blah"
.Update
End With
Set objMessage = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objMessage.Configuration = objConfig
' Open database here
objRS.Open SQLString, objConn,2,2
I = 0
With objMessage
.From = "Blah Mailer <blah@blah.com>"
.Subject = Request.Form("Subject")
.TextBody = Request.Form("Body")
Do while not objRS.EOF
.To = objRS("Name") & "<" & objRS("Email") & ">"
.send
objRS.MoveNext
I = I + 1
Loop
End With
objRS.Close
objConn.Close
Set Fields = Nothing
Set objMessage = Nothing
Set objConfig = Nothing

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?

my web host offers ASPMail - which works fine for sending individual emails, but I'm not too keen on using it to send out bulk emails because generally it times out, and then I am left with having to work out who has received their email, and who hasn't.
Anyway, just checking to see if anyone here has any advice about what options I could use to send out bulk emails. My idea of "bulk" is anywhere between 300 and 1400 at a time.
I know there are lots of free services on the web out there which offer free email newsletter services - do people have any recommendations for any of these, or any ASP based components or scripts which I could use on my site to get around this problem?

How can you create a hyperlink in the HTML body of CDOsys email? Line 7 is a link for yahoo.com, but the asp page does not work.
Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMessage.Subject ="Test Page - File upload"
objMessage.Sender = "" & Request.Form("email1") & ""
objMessage.To ="jason@yahoo.com"
objMessage.HTMLBody = "Email: " & Request.Form("email1") & vbCrLf & _
"Confirmation #: " & Request.Form("ConfirmID") & vbCrLf & _
"<a href="http://yahoo.com.com/">yahoo</a>" & vbCrLf & _
"FileName: " & Request.Form("file1") & vbCrLf & _
"Name: " & Request.Form("Name") & vbCrLf

I used the below code to try and send an e-mail. On my local machine (XP machine) using IIS, the e-mail got generated and was placed in this folder.
C:InetpubmailrootQueue
So I am assuming the mail got generated correctly and the reason the e-mail did not get sent is that I do not have SMTP setup in my IIS. Do you agree with this statement? The reason I asked that is because I am not sure if I have SMTP setup or not in IIS and I am not sure how I check that.
To continue, I migrated my code up to the production web server and I tried executing it there. I have some display.write statements and they all were displayed so again, I am assuming the mail got generated correctly.
The problem is that the e-mail was not sent (or at least I am assuming it did not because I do not see the e-mail in my inbox).
I have never generated an e-mail before so this process is new to me. My code will be attached below but I was trying to understand some basic concepts.
-If I get my code to work on my local machine thru IIS, should it then also work in the production environment?
-It seems like I am calling so pretty specific components for the configuration settings. Is this the correct way to handle this?
-If you are familiar with this type of code, have I implemented this correctly? I would assume I have not since an e-mail is not getting set.....

I 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.

can anyone post or direct me to a code snippet for sending a plaintext/html mutlipart email using CDOSYS? I can do basic code, but this is way beyond me. If a user enters html into a form, is there a way for code to strip that out and leave only plaintext behind?
The idea is that a user would fill in one html field, the form would email it in multipart, with one part using the html the user entered and the plaintext part using the same info but with the html code stripped out.

I'm running a mailing list which has grown to around 5000 recipients. I'm currently using ASP to cycle through a database of recipients to send each a custom email with their name, unsubscribe link etc.
Currently I'm using CDOSYS to send the mail, and have set up a page to trigger the emails in batches of 50 so that they don't create blockages on the mail server.
Is it possible to queue emails with CDOSYS, since this would mean I could fire all the emails at once, safe in the knowledge that they will all be dealt with without a problem.
I've used the ASPEmail component before which does this, and it was very effective, but sadly it's not an option to use it on this domain.

I've set up a website contact page which uses CDOSYS to send form details to an email address.
However, the domain is set up such as the client is using their own mail server, and using my server only to host the website.
Ordinarily I would set up hosting with email and change the nameservers of the domain to point to my server, but in this case the client is keeping the nameserver details the same, but just updating the A record to point to my server to display the website.
Trouble is, the CDOSYS email doesn't seem to work with this set-up. Do I need to hard code their mail server IP somewhere to get it to work?

Recently our contact forms on the website have been receiving messages with html links in the text entry fields. I'm assuming that a bot or something is using my mail script and bypassing the contact form.
I have seen posts about most other mail scripts in PHP that say the bots are injecting their own header information and effectively writing the message to their own BCC list.
Does someone have a thread out there about this and what can I do to keep people from sending html links through my forms to their own list. How do I check to see if they're successful or if I'm just getting a bunch of tests hitting the form and that the messages are only coming to me, the specified recipient.

I've been using CDOSYS Mail and this bit of code fine for a year. Well, we wanted to change the method of sending email from the Webserver sending it, to designating a specific SMPT server.
So, I found this code on MSFT's web site (MSFT CDOSYS SMTP ) that will allow me to do this, and it works, except that the redirect command that I have at the end of the file no longer works. I have no idea why.
Thi is the error I get:

Has anyone been able to use a variable for the To: line with CDOSYS? When I
put in a specific address like: myMail.To = "webster@thisplace.org" it works
fine. When I put in a variable like: myMail.To = areaDirector it doesn't
work. I did a reponse.write on the areaDirector and it comes out like it's
supposed to: Join Bytes!
Any ideas? Does it have something to do with the quote marks?

I 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.

I have a rather large form in HTML that needs to be sent as an email. The body of the email is approx. 400 lines (that's in HTML). Is it possible to somehow transfer the entire form to the asp mail script so that it automatically sets the body of the email to contain this form (with input)? Or do I have to write the body by hand in my asp script - like this:
line 001 Body = "<table><tr><td>some text & var1 & </td></tr> "
... ..
line 200 Body = Body & "</table>"

I would like to write a generalised page which creates an email
containg the (calling) HTML form complete with the user populated
data.
In this way the appearance of the email will be just like the form
elements of the form that called the generalised page together with
the completed fields.
I can see that I can caputure the (blank) calling page itself in the
email by using the CreateMHTMLBody method of CDO. I can also see how I
can retreive the individual elements of the form using Request. But is
it possible to combine the two?
