how can i send an email without using CDONTS?

all i want is an automatically generated email whenever anyone posts a message - to a set address.

using the CDONTS in the "articles" section doesnt work...?

Do you know what mail objects are present on the server?

If not, upload this:-

And run it to get an idea of what objects are installed.

Hi Ben....

It looks like CDOSYS is instaled... therfore, the following should work:-

Code: Select all

 <%
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDOSYS"
myMail.From="mymail@mydomain.com"
myMail.To="someone@somedomain.com"
myMail.TextBody="This is a message."
myMail.Send
%>

You may need to specify an SMTP server for the mail to go via if the above doesnt work. If not, use this

Code: Select all

<%
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
myMail.From="mymail@mydomain.com"
myMail.To="someone@somedomain.com"
myMail.TextBody="This is a message."
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") _
="smtp.server.com"  'PUT YOURS HERE
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") _
=25 
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update
myMail.Send
%>

This should get you going.

Ask your host for the smtp server address.

A SMTP Server is an outgoign mail server.

some ISP's require the FROM address to be one that belongs to your domain AND one that exists.
