    A beginner question: Send Mail in ASP using CDONTS

    Hi all,

    I had to write a page in ASP which sends an email. I googled and was
    able to write the following code:

    <html>
    <body>
    <%
    Set Mail = Server.CreateOb ject("CDONTS.Ne wMail")
    Mail.To = "XXXXXXXXXXXX@X XXXXX.COM"
    Mail.From = "YYYYYYYYY@YYYY Y.COM"
    Mail.Subject = "Test MAIL Subject"
    Mail.Body = " Body Body Body Body Body Bodyody Body Body"
    If Mail.Send Then
    Response.Write( "Mail has been sent successfully")
    Else
    Response.Write( "Mail Sending Failed")
    End If
    Set Mail = nothing
    %>
    </body>
    </html>

    When I run this script on a shared hosting server, It's saying "Mail
    Sending Failed". I had never written ASP code before and couldn't find
    what the reason is.. I also checked whether CDONTS.NewMail component
    is available.

    Please help me out..

    Thanks in advance,
    Prasad.

      RE: A beginner question: Send Mail in ASP using CDONTS

      Your host may not allow CDONTS. Microsoft stopped shipping CDONTS as a
      standard part of the Windows Server a few years back. You host *CAN* add it,
      but may have chosen not to.

      It's possible that your host supports only CDOSYS, for example. And it's
      even possible that you host doesn't support *any* MS email component and uses
      one from a third party.

      You should contact your host for the proper component to use. Hopefully,
      your how will have a sample page in their FAQs.

      If you can't get help from your host, then it might be time to change hosts.

          Here is some example code to send email using CDOSYS:-

          Const cdoSendUsingMet hod =
          "http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"
          Const cdoSMTPServer =
          "http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver"
          Const cdoSMTPServerPi ckupDirectory =
          "http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverpicku pdirectory"
          Const cdoSMTPServerPo rt =
          "http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport"

          Const cdoSendUsingPic kup = 1
          Const cdoSendUsingPor t = 2

          Dim oMsg : Set oMsg = CreateObject("C DO.Message")
          Dim oConfig : Set oConfig = CreateObject("C DO.Configuratio n")

          With oConfig.Fields
          .Item(cdoSendUs ingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPor t
          .Item(cdoSMTPSe rver) = "mysmtp.myserve r.com"
          .Item(cdoSMTPSe rverPort) = 25
          .Update
          End With

          oMsg.From = "Me <me@mymail.myse rver.com>"
          oMsg.To = "Bloke <bloke@somewere .com>"
          oMsg.Subject = "Test"
          oMsg.HTMLBody = "<html><body>He llo World</body></html>"
          Set oMsg.Configurat ion = oConfig


          oMsg.Send

              Hi..
              Thank you all for your replies.. I git it worked. The actual problem
              was with the "From Address", which should be of the same domain I have
              taken. :)

              Cheers,
              Prasad
