Anyone succeeded to send SMTP-mail using CDO.Message and CDO.Configuration?

[Henrik Bergman]

Hi all

As I subscribe MSDN I got an USB-memory with Microsoft eLearing library.

I found an exampell how to send SMTP e-mail using CDO.Message object and
CDO.Configurati on.

MSDN has also got a simular example, but it didn't work for me.

But when I try to send it, it answers, "The transport failed to connect
to server". I suppose that means the SMTP-server. Since I used that
SMTP-server several times when I send e-mail, I can't figure out why I
doesn't work. Has anyone succeeded to run the mail-example?

MSDN has also got a simular example, but it didn't work for me.

Note: I don't use user/password, so I changed Authenticate to cdoAnonymous.
