This means that the email component can not connect to the SMTP server.

Check the settings for email in the admin section.

thanks for reply boRg

In adminn area - under email configuration " cdosys chosen for mailcomponent "

the host smtp is mail.cyberperk.co.za

thing is - when I disconnect all mail functionality - all works great

this then means that obviously there is some error with the webhost smtpserver - not sure what, since I am not familiar with win2003server

my host is quite new to it since they upgraded it last week.

Is there some settings on his server that he can set right?

please suggest some steps to take to correct this problem.

thanks

Does your mail server require authentication?

Problem is that my webhost's mail server was a unix server and the webserver is win2003server. So we working on him to install smtp server for his win2003 server.

Will keep u updated on how we solved the challenge.

that shouldn't matter, I use both unix and localhost windows smtp servers, you just need to properly set up the mail server in the admin section and change the send_mail.asp to include any authentication (user.password) that may be required by the remote server.

dpyers - I too have the same issue and my SMTP server does require authentication. I am trying to use ASPEmail... Can you please tell me what code I need to place into the functions_send_mail.asp please? I currently have this code pasted.

'AspEmail component
Case "AspEmail"

'Create the e-mail server object
Set objAspEmail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")

   With objAspEmail
    'Out going SMTP mail server address
    .Host = strOutgoingMailServer

    'Who the e-mail is from
    .From = strFromEmailAddress
    .FromName = strFromEmailName

'Who the e-mail is sent to
.AddAddress strRecipientEmailAddress

'The subject of the e-mail
.Subject = strSubject

    'Set the e-mail body format (BodyHTML=HTML Body=Text)
    If blnHTML = True Then
     .IsHTML = True
    End If

'The main body of the e-mail
.Body = strEmailBodyMessage & strEmailBodyAppendMessage

    'Send the e-mail
    If NOT strOutgoingMailServer = "" Then .Send
   End With

'Close the server mail object
Set objAspEmail = Nothing

Thanks - WOLF

Details are at http://www.aspemail.com/manual_05.html - http://www.aspemail.com/manual_05.html

But basically, for AspEmail you have to add
.Username = "xxxx"
.Password = "yyyy"

Usename may be formatted differently depending upon how the mail server is set up usually it's "me@example.com" but it might be just "me"
