System.Web.Mail send mail fails

[Morten Snedker]

Using the procedure below on an ordinary form works fine. Moving it to
a service-project makes it fail on SmtpMail.Send(m ail) with error:

"Could not access 'CDO Message' object."

Google-search shows other with similar problems when running in a
service, but I didn't reach a solution.

Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Using the System.Web.Mail :

Sub SendMail(ByVal SendTo As String, ByVal Capacity As Int64)

WriteLog("sendm ail triggered")
Try
Dim mail As New MailMessage
mail.To = Modtager
mail.From = "me"
mail.Subject = "Alert: lack of space"
mail.Body = "Space left: " & Capacity & "MB"
SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = mySMTPserver
SmtpMail.Send(m ail)
Catch ex As Exception
WriteLog("Email error: " & ex.Message)
End Try


End Sub

It could be a credentials problem?

See if it is addressed here: http://systemwebmail.com/

Re: System.Web.Mail send mail fails

that's my thought. I have seen this error in regular win apps as well
-- setting the principal policy in a windows app works if the user is
permitted to send mail; depending upon how the service runs, the
account soecified may not have sufficient privs

I'm using the SYSTEM-account to run the service. This account has
already been granted full control of the file (which is in the
System32 directory).

I think that that's explained at http://systemwebmail.com/ too.
