Sending Emails with CDOSYS 1

[Mighty]

I need to be able to send emails from my webserver using ASP and I am using CDOSYS to do this. I have set up my Global.asa file as follows:

<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="CD000000-8B95-11D1-82DB-00C04FB1625D" NAME="CDO for Windows 2000 Type Library" -->

<SCRIPT RUNAT=Server LANGUAGE=VBScript>

' When the session start set the mail configuration options
Sub Session_OnStart()

' Declare required variables
Dim iConf, Flds

' Set the Configuration and Field objects
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields

' Set the configuration parameters
With Flds

.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "mailserver"
.Update

End With

' Store the configuration as a Session variable
Set Session("Config") = iConf

End Sub

</SCRIPT>


The problem is that it will send internal emails but will not send external mails. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem???

I don't know anything about scripting in ASP, however, I do know a little VBScripting. In VBScripting, I would use the CDO.message and CDO.Configuration objects to send e-mails. Here my code:


Set omail=createobject(“cdo.message”)
Omail.to= Someone@microsoft.com
Omail.subject=”Test Mail from Script”
Omail.from=”script”
Omail.addtextbody=”script worked”
Omail.mimeformatted=false

OMail.Configuration.Fields.item(

http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing)=2

OMail.Configuration.Fields.item(

http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver)=servername.domainname.com

OMail.Configuration.Fields.item(

http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport)=25

Omail.send


Maybe this will help...

Joseph,

Thanks for the response. I have come to the conclusion that the problem is not with the CDOSYS configuration. The problem lies with the relaying on my Exchange server.
