Hi all,

I've just put together my first WWF forum, and all is going well except when I or any user tries to reply to some posts, I get the following error displayed:

error '8004020f'

/functions/functions_send_mail.asp, line 136

The post is still added to the forum, but the above error is displayed instead of going back to the forum. It seems to only happen in some user's posts.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Cheers,

Ryan Taylor

this is a error with the email part of the forum.

you can either turn off email functions and that will solve it

or

you can make sure that the email configuration within the admin area is correct and that you are using a email component supported by your host.

it may also be that there is a problem with your mail server at present, or as this happened all the time?

also do you have email address validation enabled so that they need to be checked to activate accounts?

most likely this error is caused because his email server requires authentication and the code needs to be edited.

Thank you for the very prompt reply.

Email notification seems to work for myself and some other users, so I think the email sending part is working.

I've changed to a different SMPT server, just to be sure though. We'll see how that goes.

I host locally, on a windows server 2003 machine with iis. I use the CDOSYS component. Is there anything I need to do on the server to make this work properly?

Cheers,

if its installed it should be ok.

just make sure that the SMTP server is correct.

have you set up server authentication like MadDog said,.

if so you need to modify the code. i dont think you have.

its a little weird its now and then
