I cannot use the admin menu selections to get my e-mail to work. I receive an error that my smtp server is rejecting the connection although I have all the fields filled out correctly.

I am not sure if this is something strange on my host side, but I will list it in case its something else. (I do have other programs working through their menu options)

In order to get this to work, I have to hack the functions_send_mail.asp file. Specifically, I have to comment out in CDOSYS:

If strMailServerUser <> "" AND strMailServerPass <> "" Then

and the end if, leaving what's in between intact.

However, it won't work with the variable fields, I have to also change strMailServerUser and strMailServerPass to their actual values.

If I do all 3 of these steps, I can get CDOSYS to work fine. Otherwise, there are errors.

Its not a big deal I don't think, but if anyone else is experiencing the same problem I am I would be happy to post actual error messages with each change I made if that would help.

BTW, I did this with the previous version (7.9? - whatever the latest was) because the ability to enter an SMTP server for authorization wasn't there, I don't think. Now that the field is there though it still isn't behaving.

It sounds like you are not entering the SMTP server username and password correctly in the admin area.

Check your SMTP server settings for username and password in the admin area.

I know it sounds that way, but I am.

To be certain I hard coded the name and password using copy and paste from the admin page and that works.

Oh, if I hard code the name and password but leave the loop intact, I get an error message too.

Unless others are having the same problems I wouldn't worry about it, you have more than enough on your plate as it is!
