... does not work for me. http://www.preciousnightmare.com/cgi-bin/forum/default.asp - My forum runs on Access and I use CDONTS as my mail component. Registration and topic notification e-mails go through just fine. E-mailing a topic seems to go through (no error message) but the e-mail is never sent (I test it with different e-mail accounts I have). CDOSYS and JMail work but turn up with "Internal Server Error 500" when e-mailing topics. CDONTS is the only one that appears to go through but gets lost somewhere in SMTP limbo ... Help? |

I have fully tested it and can't find a problem. Check with your hosting company what the settings are on their servers, it could be that one of the email addresses needs to be a local email address in order for the SMTP server to relay on the email. ------------- 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 |

Here's the deal ... I have CDONTS, CDOSYS, and Jmail installed. The e-mail topic form crashes when using anything other than CDONTS. My host suggested that I make the FROM field hidden and make the value forum @ mydomain.com, my question is: What can I change in e-mail_topic.asp to make that field hidden and assign it this value? It's either this or I have to find out why CDOSYS and Jmail work only for topic notification and crash when e-mailing topics ... |

From the sounds of it your host has authentication setup on the server
so that the from address needs to be a local address inorder for the
SMTP server to autheicate your email. Change the HTML text box for the from email address in the email topic file to a hidden HTML form field and set it's value to your local email address. ------------- 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 |

I have the same issue so I followed the directions in previous post to add the hidden email. I kept the text input from email as well thinking that this would still show WHO originated the email from the forum. I've tried with just the hidden email and with both the hidden and text inpu but I can't get it to work. This is what the snippet of code looks like after I changed the email_topic.asp file: <input type="hidden" name="FromEmail" size="20" maxlength="50" value="value =" mailto:Forums@LincolnParkMi.net - Forums@LincolnParkMi.net " /> Any ideas on how I screwed this up so that it doesn't work anymore? Thanks in advance for any help on this. Robin |
