forum email`s

Triple_H,

Have you gotten this resolved?  If you haven't I may be able to help out.  The Web Wiz guestbook and journal scripts can be fairly easy modified to include Mdaemon as an option during the email setup.  I'm guessing the forum script can be modified in the same way.  Basicaly it allows Mdaemon to show up in the list of email systems and will allow Web Wiz to send emails directly through Mdaemon just as though it were using something like CDOSYS.

-boRg-, I'd be willing to share this code with you as well if you ever wanted to include it on future versions of your scripts.  It's coded just as though you were using any other email system.  (I'm not a programmer so I don't know the exact lingo to use to describe all this, but I did make it work after a lot of tweaking and trying!  )

gwbush,

Here ya go.  These instructions are for the webwizjournal application, but it should be very similar for other webwiz applications.

First you will need to edit the setup_email_notification.asp file.  At about line 220 you will need to insert this line of code.  This will add the Mdaemon option to your email component list.

<option value="Mdaemon"<% If strMailComponent = "Mdaemon" Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Mdaemon</option>

You can add it right after this line:

<option value="AspMail"<% If strMailComponent = "AspMail" Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>AspMail</option>

Next you will need to edit the send_mail_function_inc.asp file. 

At about line 60 you will need to enter this code:

    Dim objMDUser       'Holds the Mdaemon email object
    Dim objMDMessageInfo 'Holds Mdaemon message information

You can insert the above code immediately after this line:

    Dim objAspMail  'Holds the Server Objects AspMail email object

At about line 235 you will need to add this code:

 'Mdaemon component
  Case "Mdaemon"
 
   'Create the e-mail server object
   Set objMDUser = Server.CreateObject("MDUserCom.MDUser")
             objMDUser.LoadUserDll
            
             Set objMDMessageInfo = Server.CreateObject("MDUserCom.MDMessageInfo")
    
   'Who the e-mail is from
   objMDMessageInfo.From = strEmailAddress
    
   'Who the e-mail is sent to
   objMDMessageInfo.To = strEmailAddress
             
   'The subject of the e-mail
   objMDMessageInfo.Subject = strSubject
   
   'The message type
   objMDMessageInfo.ContentType = "text/html"
   
   'The main body of the e-mail
   objMDMessageInfo.MessageBody = strEmailBody
         
   'Send the e-mail
   objMDUser.SpoolMessage objMDMessageInfo
   
   'Unload DLL
   objMDUser.FreeUserDll    

The above code will be inserted immediately after this line of code:

   'Close the server mail object
   Set objAspMail = Nothing

Hope that helps!  I have used this code in both the journal and guestbook applications.  Other applications may use different file names- but should be pretty easy to locate.  I have used this with Mdaemon version 5 on up to 6.8.5.  I'm confident it will continue to work with version 7 of Mdaemon as well (due out in March).
