Automated Emails....
Hey guys. Here is my question, how do I go about getting Something to send emails automatically? Would like to do this as an order confirmation with my website I am building. Thanks.

It depends on what your hosting supports. ASPEmail, JMail, CDONTS, and CDOSYS are the typical ones. Generally you create an email object with one of those, set all the values for the email, then send it off and check for errors. There's many examples for all of those.

You want to send emails without user intervention?

I think Court Jester wants to send emails after an order has taken place.... therefore once the user clicks buy (or whatever the 'commit' button is), then the email will be sent.
That of course is only as I understand it. We do have an article on how to emails with ASP using CDONTS. See this Article for more info: Sending an Email with CDONTS Does that help you?

Worth noting the CDONTS isn't supported by Server2003... consider using CDOSYS

Ok,like I said Im on an NT server (according to my host) and I used that script we had on the page. It works except it won't send an email. I mean the server doesn't error but it doesnt send me an email. What do I do? (to see the code look at the code on the above link posted by Rob)
Ohh, and yes I did change the TO to my email. |

Check if your host has CDONTS set up.
Do you know what 3rd party COM objects are installed on your server? If not, let me know, I can run a tool on the webspace to find out.
