Hello,
I have WebWiz forums set up and everything works perfectly. However the email feature does not work. My webserver has CDONTS, CDOSYS, & ASPMail. I have various contact pages on my site which use CDONTS and they work just fine. However I do not recieve any topic reply emails or password requests as well.

I use the following code to send emails:



<% set sendmail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

%>

<%

sendmail.From = email



sendmail.To = "webmaster@claytonarts.org"



sendmail.Subject = subject



sendmail.Body ="From:" &  username & vbCrlf & vbCrlf
& "Message:" &  message & vbCrlf & vbCrlf &
"IP address:" & IPadd



sendmail.Importance = 1

sendmail.Send

%>

<%

Set sendmail = Nothing

%>

Is it possible to change settings in WWF to reflect my codes?

Thanks,
Ram0135

CDONTS is support by web wiz forums, you need to enable it from the admin area and place in the correct details.

The SMTP server you are using may only relay on mail with a local 'form' or 'to' email address, so check with your web host,

In the Admin panel I did set the settings to reflect CDONTS. However it does not send out mail. In the code I provided above, I am able to recieve messages from ANY email address to a local one. I tried to retrieve a password on WWF which should have been sent to a local email. However it is not working.

Thanks,

Some hosts setup their SMTP servers to only relay on email that has a 'from' or 'to' email address, this maybe why the SMTP server is not relaying on your email.
