I was going through the ASP Web Based Email Using Microsoft's CDONTS tutorial on this site and when running the examples , the email is never received. The receiving address was replaced as specified and since i am using it on winXP i also downloaded and registered the cdonts.dll however i never receive any emails No errors are given though .. any ideas why this is happening ?

greatly appreciated

You might try switching from CDONTS (which is being phased out) to the newer CDO such as can be seen in the E-mail Attachment example at http://www.asp101.com/samples - http://www.asp101.com/samples

i did try use CDO but it keeps giving me the error

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/test/cdonts1.asp, line 10

Invalid class string

which keeps poitning to Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

Confused

Search examples using CDOSYS.

Also check what components your host supports.

There have been many, many posts made throughout the world...
This was one of them.

hi again ..

thank you all for your help .. apparently it was a host problem as it only supports SSO component

The problem now is whether i could actually set the format of the email's body to html using SSO .. i ve been trying to look up examples but havent really been succesful except for sending the mail and receiving it

Would anyone know of some site which indicates how and if SSO supports body formatting pls?

thanks in advance

You can also use CDOSYS. I now use it on any site that sends mail.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wss/wss/_clb_sending_smtp_mail_by_port_25_using_cdosys_vb.asp - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wss/wss/_clb_sending_smtp_mail_by_port_25_using_cdosys_vb.asp

'Sending SMTP mail via port 25 using CDOSYS
'This VB sample uses CDOSYS to send SMTP mail using the cdoSendUsingPort option and specifying a SMTP host.

Private Sub SendMessage(strTo As String, strFrom As String)

'Send using the Port on a SMTP server
Dim iMsg As New CDO.Message
Dim iConf As New CDO.Configuration
Dim Flds As ADODB.Fields
Dim strHTML

Set Flds = iConf.Fields

With Flds
    .Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
    .Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "smarthost"
    'Use SSL to connect to the SMTP server:
    '.Item(cdoSMTPUseSSL) = True
    .Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 10
    .Update
End With

' Build HTML for message body
strHTML = "<HTML>"
strHTML = strHTML & "<HEAD>"
strHTML = strHTML & "<BODY>"
strHTML = strHTML & "<b> This is the test HTML message body</b></br>"
strHTML = strHTML & "</BODY>"
strHTML = strHTML & "</HTML>"

With iMsg
    Set .Configuration = iConf
    .To = strTo
    .From = strFrom
    .Subject = "This is a test CDOSYS message (Sent by Port)"
    .HTMLBody = strHTML
    '.TextBody = "This is the text body of the message..."

    .Send
End With

' cleanup of variables
Set iMsg = Nothing
Set iConf = Nothing
Set Flds = Nothing

End Sub
