Permission Denied: CDONTS

[CJAI]

OK...

Some background info...
Last Friday we upgraded our Exchange Server to 2003. Since the upgrade I have not been able to send mail using CDONTS.

I get a permission denied error on the bolded line below:

Dim Mail
SET Mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") 
Mail.To = "somename@some.com"
Mail.From = "DRS@ess4apc.com"
Mail.Subject = "Drawing " & (drawNo) & " has been checked in."
Mail.Body = "Drawing number " & (drawNo) & " has been checked in by " & (uname) & "."
[b]Mail.Send [/b]
SET Mail = nothing

I have spent a fair amount of time trying to correct the problem and have made no headway

Any help is highly appreciated since an important company application relies on this mail being sent.

Thanks,

J

look for the C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\PickUp directory. This directory will need to be given permissions so that it Inet user will be able to write to it. Also on your IIS server you will need to look at your C:\Inetpub\mailroot and make sure Drop has permissions as well. i am not sure which of the two will do it but by giving these two permission you should not have your permission denied error any more.
