    CDO: Accessing message in Exchange Public Folder

    Hello all

    I am trying to modify a CDO script that moves email messages out of a user's inbox and into a drop folder. I want to update it to use a Public Folder instead.

    The portion of the original script that matters is:

    Code:
    ' URL used for Outlook Web Access
strOWAURL = "http://servername/exchange/"

' Login

Set objUserSess = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
    ...

      Great idea guys!

      It turns out that the server's ~/logs directory has some screwy permissions that can't be played with. Problem solved!

      Thanks for that!

        Perl as a cron job: permissions error

        Hello everyone,

        I am running a database maintenance script to remove old entries from a log file.

        The script runs as expected when initiated manually:

        Code:
        ./maintain.pl $HOME/website/database/ $HOME/logs/
        However, when it is run as a cron job, the err.log file I have set up for errors generates an error:

        Code:
        Cannot open lock file!
        I assume...

            Hello everyone,

            I'm learning Perl again!

            I am writing a CGI script that has two possible outcomes. So I have broken up the HTML output into four parts:

            Beginning (header and the start of the HTML)

            Option 1 OR
            Option 2

            Ending (remainder of the HTML)

            This works fine as a program, the different options display according to the input. However, at the top...

              in Perl
              I did something vaguely similar [doing conditional things in the script based off a web form's checkbox] last year for a study project. While I didn't do emails based off of it the basic idea is the same. YMMV.

              Code:
              # define the email addresses in Perl so they are safer from prying eyes

$my email1Destination = 'example1@domain.com';
$my email2Destination = 'example2@domain.com';
$my email3Destination

                There is literally no content, specifically no undef message. Just before the code you quoted, I defined $formcontents as "".

                  Sorry about the delay in posting -- exams.

                  Great idea, but this didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion, any more? (hoping against hope here)

                  If you're ever in Australia look me up and I'll buy you a beer, heh... you deserve it, mate :-)

                    The problem is almost certainly in the changes I quoted at the beginning, V1 has none of these issues.

                    But for the life of me I am stuck, and my teacher is as well. Looks like the script needs to be scrapped and I will have to do without the server-side error checks.

                    Thanks.

                      Hi there,

                      You need to chomp each input to remove the line break character entered into the script when the user presses the return/enter key after typing in each variable, just like you do later on.

                      Code:
                      chomp ($first= <STDIN>);
chomp ($last = <STDIN>);
                      Also, it is useful to use tab characters to visually show which bits of your code are in a function or loop (are they the...

                          Indeed, unfortunately all of them are true. The problem is I don't know why.

                            I should mention the actual problem I guess: I always get the error page, not the success page. When I've tried printing the variables (ip, fullname etc) collected at the beginning of the script to the screen (the HTML page), they display as blank.

                              Hi everyone,

                              I'm writing a web form and a backend Perl script to send a query to the administrator.

                              V1 of the script is working well, it's basically just a simple get-data-send-email [sendmail] script. V2, on the other hand, is a nightmare. I added just a few changes.

                              In the HTML page (which has become an SHTML page to support a server includes:

                              Code:
                              <form method="post" onsubmit="return

                                    Hi everyone,

                                    I am rewriting a basic "email data to administrator" script to include an error check, which will ensure that all fields are filled with at least some data.

                                    However, there is a problem (almost certainly a coding error on my part). I divided the script into subroutines to make it easier to understand and my logic seems to have stuffed up somewhere.

                                    The code looks like this: Code Attached...

                                        Thanks for the response.

                                        I've stripped out all of the foreign HTML (there is a lot of PostNuke formatting), and also the reference to external script in the header.

                                        The page now looks like this:

                                        Code:

                                          I'm putting together a page to collect some information from our website users and send the administrator an email. To this end I have some Javascript form validation in an external file, activation.js. I have put a script tag in the header, and everything works fine in Internet Explorer 7 and Opera 9.

                                          However, the script is not being called in Firefox 2. I can tell that the script is not being called because...
