Maybe I'm dumb or something, but this is all I get as far as the error message is concerned:

error 8004020f

I can't seem to be able to get any more information about the error so I guess that's all the information that I can provide.

What I did just now was that I changed the sentusingmethod to 1, after which I didn't get the error message, but the mail doesn't seemed to get sent.

Are you trying to use a 'localhost' mail server?

If so web wiz forums currently doesn't support a localhost mail server.

The error sugests an email setup problem.

Sorted out the problem already - I forgot to set the authentication method. Silly me.

In any case what I did was insert the following line into functions_send_email.asp:

With objCDOSYSCon
'Out going SMTP server
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strOutgoingMailServer
'SMTP port
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
'CDO Port
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
'Timeout
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60

'Login Name
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "<my username>"
'Password
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword" ) = "<my password>"
'Authentication Method
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1

.Fields.Update
End With

Thanks for all the help.

Is this still the case for 7.96?
 
I'm having problems with email activations. I'm running an exchange 2003 server on windows 2003 server (sp1) and hosting my website and forums on the same box.
 
The error I'm getting when try to resend email activations is:
error '80040211'
/forums/functions/functions_send_mail.asp, line 198
 
I have tried numberous configurations but am unable to get this to work, any help would be appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
            Darrell

This isn't the case with the latest version, 7.96, which does support localhost email servers.

If you need to set email authentication then you need to edit the file 'functions/functions_send_mail.asp' and place in the SMTP servers username and password in the variables that are indicated near the top of the file.
