You will need to edit the functions_send_mail.asp file to add unual settings, your web host should be able to help you. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

you may also find a solution in using your web server's ip address or
your domain name for your smtp server instead of your actual smtp
server. your smtp server requires authorisation to stop spammers relaying through it but if you have an application and a smtp server on www.yourdomain.com, use www.yourdomain.com (or the ip address) for example, instead of smtp.yourdomain.com. the www server should recognise the traffic as a mail message and pass it on to the smtp server automatically. also, as per the post by borg, using aspemail component will allow you to add a username and password to the functions_send_mail.asp (i think?). your choice..... |

sorry, i didn't mean to make things more confusing.... as long as you got it working thats all that counts! if you are using the "ASPEmail" component - it uses persits.mailsender to create a mail component that you can attach a username and password to if you want....

if its the password and username problem there is no sulution.. ask your host if your smtp from web requers acentication. if it dos you are FxxxT :( then ask your host if thy have a smtp you can send out mails whit whitout acentication. --= = Brown Ghost = =-- |

Actually, if it needs authentication, just add the authentication into the functions/functions_send_mail.asp file... quite easy to do really... Blair ------------- Webmaster, http://www.planegallery.net/ - The Plane Gallery Greetings From Christchurch |

I guess I should add anthentication information in the functions_send_mail.asp file. Is it:
? I'll come back if I succeed. |

| Y don't u use CDONTS?? Its easy & troublefree 2 use & yet has all the required functionalities that u want in ur e-mail com. Also it doesn't require ne username or password or ne other config. |

I would use CDONTS if I could. My host only installed one email component on the server. Jmail is not difficult to configure but my host set it that I can only send to local email addresses with in the same domin name! |

its not the mail component you have to worry about - even cdonts won't send mail through a smtp server that is set up to prevent relaying cos its the smtp server which requires the authentication not the component. you should try using the actual ip address of your WWW server for the address of your smtp server.........the www server will pass your message on to the smtp server and it should authenticate it for you with any luck. failing that, your host must provide a smtp server that allows outside communication, just ask them for the address. I'd try the first option first tho... |
