You need to utilise a clientside language.

Have a look into PHP and it's mail() funciton

I sure hope you mean a server side language (like PHP, ASP, etc.)

This is the HTML and CSS forum. Your question does not belong in this forum but in the ASP forum.

I find the easiest way to diagnose email problems is to create a VBScript with your email code and run it on the server - it should give you a message with some idea about why it's not working.

Also, do you have McAfee or similar software running on the server? Some firewalls or virus scanners have a default configuration which can prevent mail from sending.

Let me know how you get on,

A very special Thanks to Dr. Bunchman

My Mccafee was killing my mails. But what if the host server has such kind of softwares. Any suggestions

Glad to help :-)

McAfee has a setting which says something like:

"Prevent from mass-mailing worms on Port 25"

Which is what is preventing you from sending mail. You will need to check with your host but you'll probably find that they will have a dedicated mail server which you can use rather than the default smtp server.

If you are installing on your own (or company) servers and you wish to use the default smtp then you can either turn this setting off or use a different port to send your mail.

Hope this helps,

Dr B
