Hey all,

I am using the CDONTS object to to send an email to myself to notify me whenever a form on my site is filled out. I am runninf windows xp pro and using IIS 5.1. When I initially tried to code the functionality, I was getting an error when I tried to create the CDONTS object so I then went and downloaded the cdonts.dll and registered it. The error went away and everything appeared to work except I am not receiving the emails and not getting any errors.

My question is, do I need to have something other than just IIS setup. Do I need to be hosting a mailserver or have one at my disposal. The addresses I am using in the .To and .From properties of the CDONTS object are hotmail addresses, not sure if it likes that idea. I list some of my code below. Thanks for the help.

Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

objCDO.From = "name@aol.com"
objCDO.To = "name@hotmail.com"
objCDO.Subject = "Subject Text"
objCDO.BodyFormat = 1

strBody = "<html><head></head><body>"
strBody = strBody & "<table border='1' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='3' style='border-collapse: collapse' bordercolor='#111111' width='400' id='AutoNumber1'>"
strBody = strBody & "<tr><td width='77'>Name:</td><td width='320'>" & strName & "&nbsp;</td></tr>"
strBody = strBody & "<tr><td width='77'>Idea:</td><td width='320'>" & strIdea & "&nbsp;</td></tr>"
strBody = strBody & "<tr><td width='77'>Comment:</td><td width='320'>" & strComment & "&nbsp;</td></tr>"
strBody = strBody & "</table></body></html>"

objCDO.Body = strBody
objCDO.Send

If you're using windows XP, try using CDO instead of CDONTS, especially if you're likely to be migrating your site to 2003 server at any point in the future. E.g.
Code: 
Set objNewMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields
With Flds 
	.Item("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")[/URL] = 2 ' cdoSendUsingPort
	.Item("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")[/URL] = "smtp.mail.server"
	.Item("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout")[/URL] = 10 ' quick timeout
	.Item("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/urlgetlatestversion")[/URL] = True
	.Update
End With

message = "HTML message text"
With objNewMail
	.From = "name@aol.com"
	.To = "name@hotmail.com"
	.Subject = "subject text"
	.HTMLBody = message
	.send	  'Send the new email
end with 		
set objNewMail = Nothing
