ASP Mail

[bunnyweb]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to get a grasp on what ASP Mail is and how it works. Is it an Active X component that I need to purchase or is it more like a protocol that ASP uses? And even more importantly, how do I get my hands on it?

Any help and information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Rachel

There are several commercial "plug-ins" that call themselves ASP mail. If your ASP server is running SMTP server you can do it yourself in your vbScript code using the CDONTS object. Check Microsoft's CDONTS help for usage:

Thanks jGar, but I'm trying to avoid CDO because the application I am writing will be distributed to many different web servers and I don't know what OS all of them will be running.

Is there an ASP mail component or something I can use that will let me email through a web form without being concerned of the OS of the web server?

Thanks!

ASPMail is jsut another SMTP mail component. To use this you must have the component (DLL) installed on the server.
here's the complete manula on ASPMail

using dreamweaver I inserted information in database, and after inserting info, user is redirected to a thank you page where he can see all the info submitted. in the thank you page, I have a recordset based in the last insterted record. I'm using ASPMAIL and I can't send the mail to the user. code I'm using:

Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer&quot
Mailer.FromName = "mysite.com"
Mailer.FromAddress = "webmaster@mysite.com"
Mailer.AddRecipient rs_users.Fields.Item("name&quot.Value, rs_users.Fields.Item("email&quot.Value
Mailer.RemoteHost = "mail.mysite.com"
Mailer.ReplyTo = "webmaster@mysite.com"
Mailer.Subject = "Your order at

http://www.mysite.com"

Mailer.BodyText = msgBody

BUT i'm getting the error message:

Type mismatch: 'Mailer.AddRecipient'

any advice will be appreciated.
