Topic: E-mail form error

Subject: E-mail form error
Date Posted: 25 March 2011 at 4:34pm

I have created a form which gets sent to me via email on my website. I have set the sender dynamically as discussed in an earlier post and this works when i use any email address thats on my hosting package but comes up with the following error if i use an email address not on my account:

error '8004020f'

The code is below:

<%
If Request.Form("submit") = "Send Message" Then

Dim ObjSendMail
Dim strUserEmail
strUserEmail = Request.Form("emailx")
Set ObjSendMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")


ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") ="mail.********.com"
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = False
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60


ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") ="****@********.com"
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") ="************"

ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Update

ObjSendMail.To = "*******@******.com"
ObjSendMail.Subject = "Contact Requested"
ObjSendMail.From = strUserEmail

ObjSendMail.TextBody = " Name: " & Request.Form("name") &" E Mail: "& Request.Form("emailx") &" Subject: "& Request.Form("subject") &"   Date/Time: "& Request.Form("datex") &" Question/Query: "& Request.Form("question")

ObjSendMail.Send

Set ObjSendMail = Nothing

End if
%>

The page below should help with your settings:-

http://www.webwiz.net/kb/web-hosting/sending-web-mail.htm - http://www.webwiz.net/kb/web-hosting/sending-web-mail.htm

Also make sure that your password is correct, if you update the password in your control panel make sure you check the 'update password' checkbox as well or the password will not be updated.

Hi Bruce,

The problem is i'm trying to set the 'From' email dynamically to whatever the visitor enters into the form field, but because the server seemd to use this for authentication it only works if i use an emial account from one in my control panel. Maybe the 'From' email account cannot be dynamic and entered by the visitor? I want to be able to recieve e-mails and be able to click on the reply option within my e-mail client and it automatically replies to the address the user has entered.

Regards,

Shane

To dynamically set the 'From' email address you need to send to a local mailbox created in your Control Panel.

You can setup Mailboxes to forward to another mailbox in your Control Panel if you need the email to be delivered to a non local mailbox.

now that i have set the 'To' command to a mail box on the server it works fine,

Thanks...
