unable to send mail using CDONTS / CDO 1

[miq]

hi,

I was able to send mail using cdonts (no error displayed) but couldn't recieve at the email address where it was send.



Here is the code:


<%
option explicit
Dim x
Dim objCDO
Dim txtMessage
For each x in Request.Form
txtMessage = txtMessage & &quot;<br>&quot; & request.form(x)
Next
'response.write txtmessage


'create an instance of the cdonts object
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject(&quot;CDONTS.NewMail&quot
With objCDO
.BodyFormat = 0 'CDOBodyFormatHTML
.MailFormat = 0 'CDOMailFormatMime
'.BodyFormat = 1 'CDOBodyFormatText
'.MailFormat = 1 'CDOMailFormatText
.To = &quot;xxx&hotmail.com&quot;
.From = &quot;yyy@hotmail.com&quot;
'objCDO.cc = &quot;zzz@hotmail.com&quot;
.Subject = &quot;Form Data&quot;
.Body = txtMessage
'set the importance
.Importance = 2 'High importance!
'send the e-mail
.Send
End With

'clean up
Set objCDO = Nothing

response.write &quot;<br>&quot;
response.write &quot;Message Has heen sent&quot;


%>




Is this a problem of IIS not cofigured properly.
What rights should i assign to IUSR_XXXXXXX account including &quot;send As&quot; and Recieve AS&quot; rights.

Also I haven't cofigured default site on IIS just using direct Adressing for web pages. Though i have created virtual directory and placed related documents / images in that directory.

Virtual directory = OS
IE is used to acess pages
A form page is called using address

http://127.0.0.1/os/subit_form.htm

this form when submitted call's the page having above mentioned code.


bye

check if the server is connected to the net, if not see if the mail is in the queue directory.

miq,

CDONTS requires that Microsoft SMTP be installed, and that _some_ SMTP server be running. If you're not getting any erros, then MS SMTP is probably installed ok, but it may not actually be running, or configured correctly. When you issue the objCDO.send, CDO dispatches the message to the SMTP server. At that point, its job is done. It is the SMTP server who actually delivers the mail, so I think you want to focus your attention there. If SMTP is having a problem, CDONTS won't know about it, hence you're not getting any error messages.
