I put 'localhost' in and it's working perfectly now with CDOSYS.

Thanks again dpyers, I knew it would be something simple!

You've been a great help dpyers. Much appreciated.

I'll try again later with 'localhost'. It seems to be working OK using CDONTS, but I'd rather it was working OK with CDOSYS.

Thanks again.

Yup, but it should be one word - "localhost". - my bad.

localhost is the IIS SMTP server on whatever machine you're on. mail.mydo,main.com is usually a unix mail server on some other machine.

If localhost doesn't work, ask your web host what mail server name to use, and if you have to log in with a valid email account first.

I've tried CDOSYS with mail.mydomain.com specified as the mail server, also tried smtp.mydomain.com, and that didn't work either.

What do you mean by 'local host'? Do I simply type 'local host' in where it asks for the server name?

CDOSYS should work. Make sure it's set up in admin. If it is, contact your web host to find out if you have to do anything like logging in first with a valid local email account. Also, when specifying the mail server to use, typically you could use either your domain mail server (e.g. mail.mydomain.com) or local host. Some hosts allow one but not the other.]]> Sun, 25 Jan 2004 11:37:13 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/resend-activation-email-function_topic9208_post48995.html#48995 <![CDATA[Resend activation email function : Thanks again dpyers.

Thanks again dpyers. You're a star!

I missed that change and have now changed the code.

The only thing is, it worked with CDONTS before I made this change and it still doesn't work with CDOSYS?

I'm on Windows Server 2003 so it should work OK with CDOSYS?

There's an email configuration section of the forum that you'll have to set up.

The search here default to searching subject headers, you have to select "message body" to get anything useful.

If you've downloaded very recently, the fix may be in. Check the 2nd post down on the 4th page of this topic for the fix info to confirm that it's in. http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=8668&a mp;KW=activation+email&PN=0&TPN=4

Thanks for your reply dpyers

I searched the forum earlier and couldn't find anything! I'll have another look though.

Is there supposed to be an option in the admin area for this function?

There's a bug in the 7.7 activation email. Search the forums for the solution. IIRC, it involves changing one variable name.]]> Sat, 24 Jan 2004 21:52:56 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/resend-activation-email-function_topic9208_post48911.html#48911 <![CDATA[Resend activation email function : I&#039;ve been having problems...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/resend-activation-email-function_topic9208_post48847.html#48847 Author: donstar

I've been having problems recently with users not receiving their activation email.

I've had a good look round the admin area in the hope that there was a Resend Activation Email Function in there somewhere, but there doesn't appear to be one.

Isn't there supposed to one in 7.7?

How does this new feature work? Is it only available to inactive users?

Would it be possible to add this feature to the admin area?
