i'm trying to send an email from my web page via cdonts but i get a "Permission denied" error on my mailer.send line. Can I use something else or is my code wrong?

set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
mailer.From = "user@domain.com"
Mailer.To = request.form("mailto")
Mailer.CC = "differentuser@domain.com"
Mailer.Subject = "Information you wanted"
Mailer.Body = "test"
Mailer.Send

How many software developers does it take to change a light bulb?
None: it works in everyone else’s office, it must work in yours too.
 
Check to make sure that the IUSR_MachineName (MachineName is the name of your webserver) has full control permissions on the mail root directories, usually C:\InetPub\mailroot Saturday 12.00

ok,
let me start over, I don't know to much about cdonts, neither do the network people. Do I talk to the webserver people, mail server people, or network server people? then what do I ask them.

I just ran a page I used cdonts on that I haven't used in a while and it doesn't work either, so I know its on their end. but who is they? How many software developers does it take to change a light bulb?

Best bet Mail Server people. Even if you try to use a 3rd party Mailer it would still need to be set up on the server Saturday 12.00

Dim MyBody
Dim MyCDONTSMail

Set MyCDONTSMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
MyCDONTSMail.From= "somebody@nowhere.com"
MyCDONTSMail.To= "nobody@nowhere.com"
MyCDONTSMail.Subject="This is a Test"
MyBody = "Thank you for ordering that stuff" & vbCrLf
MyBody = MyBody & "We appretiate your business" & vbCrLf
MyBody = MyBody & "Your stuff will arrive within 7 business days"
MyCDONTSMail.Body= MyBody
MyCDONTSMail.Send
set MyCDONTSMail=nothing

of course you'll have to have the smtp service running...

I tried it on a different web server, same mail server and i didn't get the error, but I didn't get the email either. No one here has heard of cdonts and I don't know enought about it to tell them how to fix it. :( How many software developers does it take to change a light bulb?
