Hi All,

I have set my mail server to localhost and the component to CDOSYS. However, when the forum sends email I get:

error '8004020f'
/forums/admin/functions/functions_send_mail.asp, line 137

I have tried adding my administrator level username and password to the script and I still get the error.

Please help.

There shouldn't be anything except a comment on line 137, make sure you are running an unmodified version of the lastest version.

It's unmodified and the latest. Just downloaded it.

I'm running the SQL 2000 version. The error is coming up when I am sending the email through the admin section to test. You know, the send to all users bit.

Chris

The admin section email tool has a few issues with the current version and doesn't work how it should.

Try sending emails from teh main forum.

Didn't work but I figured out the problem. The SMTP server was rejecting the connection. I've setup the SMTP to accept connections and relay. All working now. Thanks.

My host requires "pop before smtp" meaning that outbound smtp messages must have authentication or they will be rejected. This should become the norm since spammers like to use unprotected smtp servers to blast spam to the internet.
 
Since there is no field in the e-mail admin to address this that I could see - I'm a newbie, remember, be kind! I added the following to functions_send_mail.asp:
 
'Your UserID on the SMTP server
     .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "my smtp login"
     'Your password on the SMTP server
     .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "my smtp password"
     'Type of authentication, NONE, Basic (Base64 encoded), NTLM
     .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
 
and after this I was able to send e-mails without error. Of course substitute your own smtp login information for the dummy names I put in.
 
Hope this helps.
