 Topic: E-Mail Problem
Posted: 14 November 2003 at 9:05am |
We're having two e-mail related problems with our forums:
- People aren't receiving notifications of replies and
- When I tried to send a message to the forum members, I received the following message (that may be related)
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied
/forums/admin/functions/functions_send_mail.asp, line 183
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied
/forums/admin/functions/functions_send_mail.asp, line 183
Lines 182 and 183 read as follows:
'Send the e-mail
.Send
I'm thinking that the two problems are related. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

I've seen this problem when using CDOSYS but only on a WinXP mechine and was to do with perissions of some kind.
The only solution I found was to move the forum to another folder.
Maybe your web hosts can help or someone who has had more experince
with the CDOSYS component can tell you what needs changing on the
server in order for it to work.

We're actually using CDONTS. Any correlation?
Thanks.

Arghh sorry coudn't read the error properly, the text was to small to read without my glasses.
The problem is that you need to set write permisisons for everyone on the SMTP's queue directory at:-
C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue
This will allow the SMTP server to save the email to it's queue before sending it.

This is something that needs to be done on the web server, if you have access to it.
Navigate in Windows Explorer to the folder on the servers C drive:-
C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue
Then right click on this folder, select properties, and from the
security tab set read and write permissions for everybody on that
folder.

Eureka!!! Problem resolved.
We changed the e-mail component to CDOSYS and I confirmed the outgoing mail server info. I forwarded your instructions to the network guy. If that was needed, he took care of it. Works like a charm now.
Thanks for the input and feedback. It always helps to learn something.
