Can' t send mail from asp page using CDONT, htm pages m... - 7/3/2002 15:44:14
Have CDONTS as mail (according to Spooky). Have a pretty simple form that collects some variables based on selections from a db region. Want the users to add their name etc to the collection, and mail it. Page never gets sent, and confirm page never shows. Smtp server is setup to correct mail server (MS Exchange) via FP server ext 2002 on server. Should this say smtp.domain_name.com instead of server_name.domain_name.com?
so I got this message from rdouglass (thankee)
What happens when you try to send a simple CDONTS message? Make a very simple ASP page with just this code on it, replace with your email addresses, and check for a message:
<html> <head> <title>CDONTS Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<% Dim myMail
Set myMail = CreateObject(" CDONTS.NewMail" )
myMail.BodyFormat = 1
myMail.MailFormat = 1
myMail.From = " billg@microsoft.com"
myMail.To = " jmetcalf@computer-plus.com"
myMail.Subject = " Email Test"
myMail.Body = " Here is your test message."
myMail.Send
Set myMail = Nothing
Response.Write(" OK" )
%>
</body>
</html>
Run the page. You should get a page with " OK" on it as well as an email message. If that works, we' ll go from there. If that doesn' t work, you probably have a problem with CDONTS configs.
and this is what I get....
The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.
Please try the following:
Open the www.computer-plus.com home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Click Search to look for information on the Internet.

Mail sends fine from an htm/html page.

is the page. Can find no clues on the server or logs.
Thanks

do other .asp pages work ok?
rename a page from *.htm to *.asp and ensure it still displays.

Well, I' ve seen that message. But can find no area for a ' Smart host' . I am running exchange 2000 sp2, and the server is running FP 2002 extensions. Where are these settings?
Many thanks

Not too sure about Exchange 2000, but the settings will be similar to 5.5:
Open the Management Console for IIS on your server. In the left-hand pane, right-click on Default SMTP Site.
Select Properties then Delivery on the tab dialogue.
In the Fully Qualified Domain Name box, enter the IP address of your Exchange Server enclosed within Square Brackets e.g. [192.168.1.2]
In the Smart Host box, enter the name of your Exchange server e.g. Exchange_2
Cross Fingers.
Click OK
Try that test page from RDouglass.
That last bit was what sorted my problems. I hope this works for you cos I now know what a pain it can be... If it doesn' t, you could always try an alternative such as JMail, ASPmail etc.
