Greetings!

I am testing WebWiz as a replacement for our existing EZSite forums application. So far it looks good except that the ASP formmail app that we use does not appear to be supported by WebWiz. We use OCXmail from Flicks Software: http://www.flicks.com/ASPMail/ - http://www.flicks.com/ASPMail/

Does the product support OCXmail? Can it?

Thanks for your help folks!

I've never heard of OCXmail so I'm afraid it is not supported by the forum.

Try using CDOSYS as this is very little known part of the Win2k operating system, most web hosts don't even know it's on thier servers so very often don't disable it. Just select CDOSYS from the admin area and type in the address to your web hosts SMTP server.

I downloaded and looked at adding support for OCXMail but discovered it is an extremly basic mail component and only supports text based emails, so would not be compatible with Web Wiz Forums so unless they come up with an improved version of OCXMail that also supports HMTL emails this component can't be used with Web Wiz Forums.

Maybe you should ask your hosts to include an improved mail component or just get them to re-enable CDONTS.
