Hello!

I've been trying to learn using CDONTS, but my computer doesn't, for reason or another, send the mails forward. But if I send a password recovery mail from WebWiz forums, it works. I've tried to use a tutorial code from WebWiz, but it doesn't either work. (here's the code)

<%
'Dimension variables
Dim objCDOMail

Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCDOMail.From = mailto:myE-mailHere@myDomain.com - myE-mailHere@myDomain.com
objCDOMail.To = mailto:thereEmail@thereDomain.com - thereEmail@thereDomain.com
objCDOMail.Subject = "Enquiry sent from my web site"
objCDOMail.BodyFormat = 0
objCDOMail.MailFormat = 0
objCDOMail.Body = "<h2>Hello</h2><br><b>This is my e-mail in HTML format</b>"
objCDOMail.Importance = 1
objCDOMail.Send
Set objCDOMail = Nothing
%>

But I think that the code is quite faultless, because it's directly from WebWiz's tutorial, but still it doesn't work. Can anyone say why?

Line number mentioned is where objmail.Send is written.

Please help !!!!

You need to give write permssions to everyone to the folder:-

C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue

This then allows emails to be saved in the SMTP servers queue

Thanks for a prompt reply !!!

I have given write rights on c:\inetpub\mailroot\queue

I have followed the following steps -

1. right click on c:\inetpub\mailroot\queue folder.

2. clicked on properties then clicked on 'web sharing' tab.

3. checked "share this folder" radio button & clicked on OK.

Is this the correct way ... as it is still not working ... giving me the same error.

No, it's not web permssions you need to set.

Have a look at the following article to give you an idea of what to do:-

http://www.webwiz.net/asp/faq/server_permissions.asp - http://www.webwiz.net/asp/faq/server_permissions.asp

If you are using XP Pro you may need to disable simple file sharing first from the folder options in the control panel.
