I am having problems e-mailing information gathered from a form.
Origionally Flash sent all the info to an asp file that e-mailed the content to me.
The problem is that the people running the server changed the server and I was informed that there is now no smtp mailer, or something like that.
I don't think the server supports other languages, I think the guy said it was a domino? server running windows.
I have tried writing simple html forms with php, but can't get anything to work.
I need to validate a form before it is emailed to me. I don't really understand what email functionality I have on the server (and the tech support might get back to me in about 10 years). Right now all the current forms are e- mailed using a method="post" action="http://www.website.com/cgi-bin/ mail?user@website.com", but I do not have any access to the script that is e-mailing the form data.
What I would like to do is validate the form data and then e-mail it directly, bipassing the mail script I'm currently using (the /cgi-bin/ mail?user@website.com), or validate the form data and pass it to the current e-mail script.
can i directly mail to hotmail or yahoo acount with any asp.net code.
i have an example like above but i need smtp adress for hotmail, i tried it for smtp.mail.yahoo.com but it didnt work and "authentication required" error accured
I 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 over 6,000 subscribers to my newsletter and am considering using CDOSYS to send the newsletter to them.This would create a multipart(text and html)version to be sent to everyone.
Whilst the HTML is only 8kb I have the feeling that creating a page which loops over 6,000 times to produce all those emails is not very efficient.or is it?
I don't exactly want to run a test and mail to almost everyone and then it fail/timeout/hang the server.
I am currently designing a website using HTML and ASP. However as part of my website i will be collecting peoples email addresses and sending emails to them fairly regularly. Currently the E-Mail . address are being held in an access database after being inputted from the website.
if there is any way i can interface my website with Outlook or another E-Mail program to enable me to easily send the prewritten emails to the address list.
I'm thinking about how to implement a web based SMS mailing list. The web users can subscribe / unsubscribe to the mailing list via the site and then the mailing list is used to send out SMSs containing latest offers etc.
Implementing the mailing list will be relatively simple, but I have never dealt with SMS within a site before, and was wondering if there are any ways of sending SMSs using ASP Classic.
i have create mailing list system using dreamweaver. i'm using asp. the system should be able to print the recipient name and address. i want to print it in the label sticker. the problem is how to set it to print in specific location. the sticker have 3 columns and 8 rows.
I want to know if there is a possibility of mailing the iis log files automatically,say on a daily basis. The problem i am facing now is that my web host is very busy and i need to send dozens of mails to remind him. Also tell me the security previlages needed to execute the script so that i can convey the same to my web host....
And last but not the least can we develop this script with windows nt workstation + iis 4 wihout smtp.
I have created a Store front with .asp & access and I would like to setup something that emails all my users on my mailing list with a Dymanic email with the weeks specials.
But I would like it to happen automatically without any user interaction, say I would like to send it all the users @ 12.00am every monday.
I'm looking to start making some mailings based on email addresses that I already have in my SQL Server user database. Some mailings would be recurring, some would be one-time. The ability to import the addresses I have into the system, or read them directly from my database is ultimately important.
Does anybody have reccomendations for a particular program that will handle this?
I'm building a website and I want to include a mailing list. I just want a form where a user could enter their email address, so I could send them more information. I assume that the best way to do this is with ASP. Right now, I'm learning ASP by testing pages using Abyss web sever with Active HTML. I have XP Home, so I can't use IIS. Here are my questions:
1. Is ASP the best way to create a mailing list 2. Can I just use excel for the database - not access 3. How do I connect to the database. I've read about using ODBC, but I think that would only work when the web server is on my computer. If I got someone to host the site for me, I don't think that would work. 4. Is there an easy way to mail to the names in the database?
I have been looking for mailing list scripts, but discover that they all seem to be for "newsletter" type lists rather than debating lists. Are there any that can be used to allow all subscribers to post?
What I need it to do is, after the user fills out the form, attaches their document and clicks submit it sends an email to a specific person.
I did this one time with PHP and followed a baby steps type of tutorial (Minus the attachment) so if anyone has something similar it would be greatly appreciated.
The backend is ASP website running on IIS6.0 on Windows Server 2003.
i have created a page for users to enter their details into a table,i.e. name, e-mail address and password,i also want these + other details to be e-mailed to the user when he clicks the submit button,how is this done?
We have stored user registration information in an Access database, and we wish to develop an email with attachments like words document and pictures in jpeg/gif format and import the email address from the mailing list in the Access database and to send this to the user.
Here's an example of using ASP, CDO and a Microsoft Access database to create a double opt in mailing list for subscribers. It lets the user subscribe and then sends them a confirmation email with a random url that has to be clicked to confirm the subscription. I had a hard time finding a free example so I threw this together for other's searching for something to start their own with.
I've written an email sending script to mass send to our database - some of our subscribers are subscribed to multiple list, and so when selecting the entire database, I want to ensure I don't have Duplicates.
To avoid this, I am selecting the recordset of all users, ordering by Email address, sending the email, moving onto the next record and then starting a loop to keep looping until the email address is different, but it doesn't work... see example below... Code:
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?
Designing mailing list to send out newsletter with asp, ie: page where admin presses send button to send out newsletter to all subscribers in database. I'm using JMail, but have following question:
Can I fill the BCC with all user's email and send once or is it better to loop through each user and send email one at a time? Guess worried about using BCC because of someone might gain access to all user's emails in the mailing list.
I am web admin for a school's website and now and again I have to send emails to those who have signed the guestbook and have consented to this. Now I have a distribution list within outlook but whenever I try to send these emails I receive different errors e.g. 'too many recipients' Does using CDONTs to dynamically send emails eliminate this problem? Are you aware of any cheap programs out there that will meet my needs? I would also like to be able to easily track and delete the emails that are no longer in use...
I want to store multiple mailaddress like home address and shipping address. Sometimes addresses will be more than two. I am thinking about storing the details as a dictionary object....

I´m having a problem using ASP Upload with an insert form..
If I use ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" the all the parametres i might get with request.form don´t appear.. but i can upload the files.. Besides if I take away the ENCTYPE tag, i can´t upload but the INSERT INTO form works propertly
my form contains two text fields(name, address) and two file field control where user can insert image(photo1 and photo2), i want to insert this data in to ms access when the user submits the form?
this is my code for insert text fields to access data base.but i have no idea about the code for image fields. In my access data base i set photo1 and photo2 as herf (binary data). Code:
I have a form that is dynamically generated since it is populated with values retrieved from a database. The form can of course also be submitted, which is where I run into some problems.
Since I never know in advance what the length of the form (or for that matter what the different elements' names and values) will be I don't know how to write the code in "receive.asp" to retrieve all values from the form correctly without excess use of "request.....".
I shouldn't have to write requests for every single potential element name that is stored in the DB. Please note that the form can sometimes also contain radio buttons and check boxes, even though they are not present in this short example Code:
