Automating emails through Exchange 5.5

[Torp23]

I am an MCP and need some advice/direction. I am trying to add an email service to my web site where members will receive email confirmation of their registration and periodic bulletins, etc... I am a VB 6 programmer and will be doing this in COM objects and I have Exchange 5.5 w/SP2 running on NT4 SP6a. The only piece that I am missing is accessing and sending email in code through Exchange. I downloaded the Cdoasp.exe file from msdn and ran it on my server (which is also my IIS 4.0 server), but I am having problems with that. Is there any advice anyone has on learning more about using the cdo or maybe some other method to send email through code (VB) to send email? Thanks in advance!

should tell you most of what you want to know. This is CDO 1.2.1 which will work with NT4.

if u want to send only emails then not try to use xchange server or cdo. instead use CDONTS. its light weight n will fulfill ur need well.

u can find about cdonts in msdn library.

good luck

Or of course you can always use SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). There are freeware command-line DOS applications available e.g. Blat
