SMTP mail server issue - 5/12/2004 21:09:24   
My problems scenario:

My email account is web based. My MS Outlook is by-passed and remains dormant. I am trying to email the password back to a subscriber upon request via asp. Code looks fine; web host agrees all is fine on their end. I am able to send and receive email between the web host email service and my personal email service. From my error message '80040213', I now know it is a SMTP mail server issue. As to what next step(s) to a solution - I am lost.

Change web host?

Any SMTP mail server issue debug tips appreciated.

I'm lost, too. What does Outlook have to do with this? And where does the error show up--when you e-mail to a client, or to yourself? What is the full text of the error message?

Is your web-based e-mail acocunt on a different host than the one you're e-mailing from (like maybe Hotmail or Yahoo)?

Try this:
Called my shared host & confirmed:

•SMTP Server is correct
•SMTP Server Port = 25
•SMTP server requires authentication
•User Name = User Name of pop account
•Password = Password of pop account

Gets error message below for the code at bottom, I guess figuring out how to debug SMTP server problems is the next step – any suggestions on doing this, I'm lost?

Would ASPmail be a solution?

CDO.Message.1 error '80040213'
The transport failed to connect to the server.
/sendit2.asp, line 95

'Setting up Message parameters
with Fields
.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
'Replace with your SMTP server
.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "smtp.xyz.com"
.Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 25
.Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 10
'Only used if SMTP server requires Authentication
.Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoBasic
.Item(cdoSendUserName) = "UserName"
.Item(cdoSendPassword) = "Password"
.Update
end with

With m_objCDO

.Send
End With

Response.write "Email has been sent<BR>"

Are you sure you should be using CDO, and not CDONTS? There is a difference.

If you are using the proper provider, then your host needs to check how they have the smarthost configured on your virtual SMTP server.

quote:

.Item(cdoSendUserName) = "UserName"
.Item(cdoSendPassword) = "Password"

Also, I hope these have actual values in your code. Sounds dumb, but I've seen it done.

My server only supports CDO - no CDONTS allowed. My server is Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

What about CDOSYS? That's the replacement for CDONTS.

CDOSYS, yes that's correct!
The asp code is on a web host, I wondering if this is interfering.

Does this work for you?

<%
Set oMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set iConf = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 1
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.xyz.com"
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 10
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
iConf.Fields.Update
Set oMail.Configuration = iConf
oMail.To 		= "webmaster@xyz.com"
oMail.From 		= "webmaster@xyz.com"
oMail.Subject 		= "Subject"
oMail.TextBody 		= "Body"
oMail.Send
Set iConf = Nothing
Set Flds = Nothing
%>


<obvious> insert your own email and server address</obvious>

Richard Dudley: CDOSYS was the keyword I was looking for, it continues to produce a wealth of valuable info on google – CDO was quite limiting. Thanks for your rewarding input.

Spooky: Can’t wait to try your code out. I let you know the results. Thanks.

Stephen

RE: SMTP mail server issue - 5/15/2004 0:30:16   
btw - 2 options here

External server / IP
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.xyz.com"


Local service (dont change)
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 1
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "http://127.0.0.1"

Bingo! It works! This "local service" approach works just fine.
Thanks!

Local service (dont change)
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 1
iConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "http://127.0.0.1"

However, the "External server / IP" approach produced the following error.

CDO.Message.1 error '80040213'
The transport failed to connect to the server.

Hi all

its my first post here, so hello to all members. Im finding some information about how send mails with remote SMTP server with a IIS and ASP code.

I have found some webs that its explain some codes to send an email but with local server.

Why i need to use a remote server?Because i have a big problem with a local smtp. Im doing some tests and first i need to connect a web server with a little asp script to smtp remote server.

<%
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="Test message from SMTP remote server with CDOSYS"
myMail.From="somemail@somedomain.com"
myMail.To="myfriend@somedomain.com"
myMail.TextBody="Im a test!!!"

myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2

'Name or IP of remote SMTP server
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") _
="[some.][domain][.com]"  '< -- here i write my true 'domain

'Server port
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") _
=25 

'myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
'("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") _
'= 1
'
'myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
'("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") _
'= ""
'
'myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
'("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") _
'= ""

myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update
myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing


The asp code returns:

CDO.Message.1 error '80040213'

Have you some idea to try solve this problem?

Many thanks :)

Ok

i have found the problem :)

Listen, if you are trying to connect a remote smtp server from a webserver, you must configure your smtp server(we are speaking about Windows Servers) to receive connections from webserver. How? Setup your windows firewall. Its very easy.

To test if you smtp server receives connections by 25 port, try in the webserver

Telnet [your.remotesmtp.server IP or domain] 25

If you can connect, its works!

Bye :)
