OK, it has been resolved. First of all, sorry I acted as if I knew what I was talking about. I should know better than that.

What was happening was a user had marked to be notified via email for post in the forum, BUT didn't supply an email address. So Persits was trying to execute without an email address. So, I just added an "If the email exists, then send the mail".

Thanks for your help!

Tim

Persits dosn't need a name, the email address is enough, have a look at the documentation on the Persits web site.]]> Fri, 31 Oct 2003 04:52:10 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/help-needed-regarding-email-notification_topic6850_post33932.html#33932 <![CDATA[Help needed regarding Email Notification : strRecipientEmailAddress is just...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/help-needed-regarding-email-notification_topic6850_post33902.html#33902 Author: kmacy

strRecipientEmailAddress is just one of the values that get passed to the sendmail function:

Function SendMail(ByVal strEmailBodyMessage, ByVal strRecipientName, ByVal strRecipientEmailAddress, ByVal strFromEmailName, ByVal strFromEmailAddress, ByVal strSubject, strMailComponent, blnHTML)

Find the line that is calling the sendmail function for whatever it is you are doing and then make sure all the values are being passed.  If you have a debugger, just put a breakpoint on the sendmail function and you should be able to solve your problem fast.  If not, get your response.write's going.  Good luck.  FYI - I personally have no problem with aspEmail working.

I just reread my post and I guess your problem is that you can't find where in wwf the sendmail function is being called.  So, what I would do is look at the url right before the email gets sent.  Open up that page in your editor and look for the sendmail function call.

Hmmm,

But, when I response.write strRecipientEmailAddress in testing it only showed me an email address. And I know Persits also needs a name (e.g. .AddAddress "bob@bob.com", "bob")

Does it pull the name from "Real Name" in the profile?

The forum has been fully tested in Persits AspEmail and so should work,I would guess that you may have a corrupted file somewhere, tryreuploading all the files again.

The varaible strRecipientEmailAddress is initilised in the functionitself and is given a value from lines in other files that pass acrossvalues to the function when it is called.]]> Thu, 30 Oct 2003 14:40:00 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/help-needed-regarding-email-notification_topic6850_post33835.html#33835 <![CDATA[Help needed regarding Email Notification : Forum Version 7.01 I&#039;m having...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/help-needed-regarding-email-notification_topic6850_post33807.html#33807 Author: themayor

Forum Version 7.01

I'm having some problems sending email using Persits AspEmail for notifications. Many times users are getting an error that basically says Persits is breaking when executing Send.

I have narrowed it down to a problem with the "strRecipientEmailAddress". Persits needs an address and a name, and I believe if someone has not put in a real name then that string is only the address which breaks Persits.

So, basically what I need to know is where "strRecipientEmailAddress" is set. I simply can't find. Once I know where it's set I should be able to write in a workaround if the Name is missing.

thanks for any help

Tim
