unable to send email from an asp page

[shanuragu]

Hi all

Here is how I am sending an email
emailmessage is the messagestring.

Set objMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.Newmail")
objMail.From = rsUser("admin_email")
objMail.To = rsUser("email")
objMail.Subject = "On Line Shopping Order Details"
objMail.BodyFormat = 0
objMail.MailFormat = 0
objMail.Body = emailMessage
objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing

I have used the same format to send email message from an asp page from a different machine. But here on the machine where I am running this asp page I am unable to send email. Why?? Is there any SMTP configuration has to to be done / any extra settings ?? plz help

Have you got an SMTP set up? Do you have CDONTS installed?

Also, what is the error you are receiving?

CDO is generally used instead of CDONTS on IIS 5 and after (actually the SMTP service within IIS) which is generally on servers after Win NT4 (although I think CDONTS is generally still supported too).

Here are changes I made to convert CDONTS stuff to be CDO stuff instead:

o Change objCDONTS to be called objCDO (actually this is just a cosmetic change)

o This:
Set objCDONTS = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

Changed to this instead:
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

o This:
objCDONTS.Body = strEmailBody

Changed to this instead:
objCDO.TextBody = strEmailBody

o This removed:
' Importance.
' (0=Low, 1=Normal, 2=High)
objCDONTS.Importance = 1
