My client does not want to use a listserv. He wants to send 5000+ emails,
once everyday to our members. Our hosting company has agreed to this.
What are my options here?
I know I can write a basic looping SQL script, but that would take
forever....
What about an "email queue" through SQL? But I cannot install any components
on the web server, so what options are there?
I'm given a DB with everyone's particulars including emails which I'm supposed to retrieve all their emails and do a mass reminder email to the individual email addresses.
I don't want to send a email whereby all the email addresses is shown in the email. Can someone give me some ideas as how am I supposed to go about doing it using asp and vb. Is there any working codes I can refer to?
I want to use a simple CDONT mail script to allow the administrator of a site to send an email blast to their users. there are approx 1600 emails in the MS SQL db table. I would like to parse the entire email address column and get a variable that is all the email addresses separated by a comma so that the form picks it up as all the emails in the 'bcc' field as in the eg. below..I know there has to be an easier way but I want to get these guys up and running.
<%
objCDO.To = "Recipient@oursite.org"
objCDO.From = "mailer@oursite.org"
objCDO.bcc = "$variable_of_all_email_addresses"
Dim txtSubject
txtSubject = "Insert comments and case info here"
objCDO.Subject = ""***ATTENTION*** NEW CASE - MISSING CHILD"
objCDO.Body = txtSubject
objCDO.Send
%>
I'm looking to put a subscribe feature on my site. The user would just put their email address into the subscribe box and press go.
The listServer requires the email address in the message body. How do I get the email address into a hardcoded message?
message: subscribe listname <user@domain.com>
Has anyone come across any tutorials about this? I wasn't sure as to what to call it to do a search.
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 a test and production environment. The code works fine on test
but behaves erractically in production. The script needs to email people
who are subscribed to a particular service. On test it is a small list
but the list on production is fairly large. Does the CDO object have a
maximum number of people that can be BCCed? I also have email addresses
with hyphens in them, are there special characters, (other than @), that
have to be respected? I have seen some other posting with people having
issues with the CDO object and one of the suggestions is to:
# Try using a SendUsing value of 1 (pickup) instead of 2 (port). E.g.
the following line:
cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 2
Becomes
cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 1
What is the difference between these two? The webserver is juts using
the default SMTP server, is it going to work with a setting of
cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 1? Where are they picking it
up from?
I have a table in SQL server, that has three columns:
ID, Asset, Keywords.
i.e.
ID Asset Keywords
1 Car Mercedes
2 Car Toyota
3 Color Blue
Ok, what I'm trying to do through my asp page (since I cannot do it through SQL, seeing as how it appears that what I want to achieve would be outside the scope of why it was created)... is I'm trying to run a query that will get a list of the assets available and then string the keywords for that asset to a variable. Code:
I tried using the one listed here http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/ASPCode/...rom-a-database/ but I keep getting an error which I've posted but haven't found an answer for yet. Does anyone know of any other one that I can use. I basically want to be able to pull a list of the emails out of my db and send an email to those addresses.

View Replies View RelatedMy problem is, when I send e-mail to our members, not all of them are getting them and there is no rhyme or reason. I was thinking of re-writting the program to go through MS Outlook so our Exchange Server will take care of sending it. Then again, probably there is someone who can help me figure out why some e-mail are not getting delivered even though they have valid e-mail addresses. There must just be about 25-35 out of probably close to 2000 members in our mailing list. I am using SMTP do you think it is getting overloaded with delivery? Sometimes they would come back with a delivery delayed notification.
I posted my code because there might be something in my program that does not work for mass e-mail sending and somebody might want to give me a suggestion on handling this matter.
What if I send the e-mail one by one instead of doing a bcc?
I just had a problem where I needed to update a bunch of records from a single form submission. I am sure there are lots of better ways to solve this, but I offer the code I came up with. Also I’m asking if there are any better ways.
The form page had a form in it with a table. Each row in the table had a database record in it. In each row, sat the input field titled “myOrder” and a hidden field called “myID”. The table was a repeat region, so that each field was populated dynamically from each record in the database. The number of records was dynamic in that they increased or decreased by the category the user was in.
The page submitted to my mass_update page.
Here is the relevant part of the code that took each “myID” and “myOrder” data and then updated the database record:...

View Replies View RelatedI'm going to have a need to send out about 30,000 e-mail messages regularly to addresses that reside in a list/database. (not spam :)
Because of insitutional infrastructure issues on the +receiving+ side, I need to space out the sends: say, send 500 messages, pause ten minutes, send another 500, until the full list of 30,000 is complete.
I'm either going to code this myself, or buy a component that does this for me. Can anyone advise me of a component that can deliberately slow down the processing/sending of an e-mail job? The SMTP stuff will reside on our end.
my page(searchresults.asp) will show all the results that you searched for.. These results are from the sql server. All the datas are different. On the right of every record, there is a checkbox.
Now is the scenario..
After all records are shown, I will check a few checkboxes. Then i will click the button. All the data that is checked will be inserted in the sql server. But the thing is that all data records is different..
Its actually kinda off like the hotmail, where you checked a few boxes and put them into a different folder..
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?
I am trying to send out a mass email newsletter. I have 600+ subscribers in our SQL Server Database. Well, is ASPMail (Server Object's product) good for this? If so I have some concerns about the error handling and assuring people don't continue to recieve the same email. Does anyone have expierence with this? If so, what is your advice?

I am testing a mass emailer that I will be sending out this week. I use ASP to read email addresses from a db table which is contains a list of email addresses of those who will receive the email blast. I have included myself to see the results of the test. I noticed when I received the email, the body or content of the email was repeated as many times as there are people in the email list the code was reading from.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong in the code below?
Code: ....
1. SELECT VALUES FROM TABLE A WHERE ID=5
2. I create an array x(0,n), and I populate n with the values based on
select above.
What I have... I have x(0,1)
x(0,2)
x(0,3)... and so on.
Result:> I need to have variable called
varx that should consist all the values from x(0,1), x(0,2), x(0,n).
So I need to declare varx = x(0,1) & "," & x(0,2) & etc.
1. question. I don't know how many elements I would have, coz they depends
on "select".
2. Can someone give me example how I can dynamicly create (parse) this
values in single variable, so I can send this values to pageB.asp
After a member registers, he's able to access and download any file
available. We want to avoid the end user being able to distribute an URL
to these files thereby making it simple for other users to download them.
Solution I'm working on:
I have a variety of files (html, pdf, doc, xls, and others) sitting
outside my "wwwroot" folder. I have an ASP script which checks the MIME
type for the given file and now, my problem is, how do I use the
FileSystemObject to grab those files and display them to the user?
Let's suppose the user is requesting demo.html. I use the FSO to open
the demo.html in the folder outside the wwwroot, and then set the mime
type and then what do I do? Response.write? What about binary files
which need to trigger a download action?
my client wants a forum integrated in his website. Ive found some existing forum solutions (snitz, carbon communities etc...). These are great, but my client wants the forum working whereby when a user posts, the post is sent to the clients who then confirms or denies the post. The forum is for a school, hence the very tight regulation of posts.
Does anybody know of an existing forum which allows this functionality (preferably a free forum).
I am trying to implement a printing to file solution of a html page on the server. What I have is a form with a IE control that loads the page I want to print to.
I am using execWB command for printing. Printer's port is set 'To file'. Everything works fine when I am running that component from a desktop apps. But when I call that component from an asp page nothing is happening. I dont see any dialogs popping up on the screen.
BTW, if I print to a printer works fine either.
I'm hoping for an easy solution to this that I'm not seeing that
someone more experienced will.

there a method or property here I can implement that I'm not seeing?

Whats the best way to show it? I can't install any 3rd party com's on the server.I have seen a website offering a flash based solution. Is this the best way? Ideally i would like a line graph, rather than a bar chart.

I am looking for an asp change password solution. I know there are very
efficient ways of doing it and perhaps you have some samples or ideas.
Basically I would like the user to be able to change their password. Then a

i have a simple form in a html page.
the form successfully sends data to my database using asp.
currently sending details using

i could replace that with a roll over image, that is compiled of the 2 files
submit.gif and submit-white.gif
and when it is pressed, the form details are posted, how can this be done
I am in need of something like mod_rewrite or an alternate solution.
I have a client, who's website is all HTML files (200+ files) and was previously password protected by javascript only. Anyway, what I need to do is password protect the site using a better solution, which would be a server side scripting obviously.
I am familiar with apache's mod_rewrite and PHP, which would make this problem easy to solve by simply passing the HTML file to a php file, then after neccessary security checks, pass the requested html back to the browser..
The only problem is that its on an ASP server and I have no knowledge of ASP. I am not even 100% positive what kind of server it is, I just know that .asp files work in it and .php does not.
Anyone know of something like mod_rewrite for ASP or an alternate solution that would work in my situation?
