ASPmail - HTML email not received by hotmail

gavray · Jul 17, 2003

Hi,

I'm trying to send out an HTML newsletter and as you can imagine most people have given their 'Dumping' accounts like hotmail and yahoo.

This HTML email works fine with proper email clients like eudora and outlook, but there is no sign at all of the email being received by hotmail or yahoo accounts.

I know my hotmail account can received HTML emails from a number of other newsletters, why no mine. Is is aspMAil as this is the only one on my ISP has?

Any ideas please!!

this is code -

Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer&quot

Mailer.RemoteHost = "smtp.intomusic.co.uk"
Mailer.FromName = "IntoMusic.co.uk"
Mailer.FromAddress = "postmaster@intomusic.co.uk"

Mailer.AddBCC request.form("name&quot

,request.form("email&quot

Mailer.Subject = "IntoMusic - July Newsletter - More New Music For You"
Mailer.ContentType = "text/html"

myString = myString & "<html><head>" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
myString = myString & "<style>" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
myString = myString & ".style" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
myString = myString & "{" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
myString = myString & " FONT-SIZE: 12px;" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
myString = myString & " font-face: Verdana;" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
myString = myString & "}" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
myString = myString & "</style>" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)

myString = myString & "</head><body bgcolor=#848294>" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)

myString = myString & "<table border=1 width=550 height=400 bordercolor=#000000 bordercolordark=#000000 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 bgcolor=#eeeeee><tr><td height=0>" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)

#more body of message I'll leave out
myString = myString & "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table></html>" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)

Mailer.BodyText = myString

if not Mailer.SendMail then
Response.Write " Mailing Failed... Error is: <br>"
Response.Write Mailer.Response
else
Response.Write " Details have been successfully added...<p>"
end if

hotmail has issues with HTML content mixed with vbscript (eg:Chr Codes) try testing the hotmail account with a simple mailer to see if that is it. If so then convert the content to HTML taging only.

Hi, I actually found out what it was.

I changed - Mailer.AddBCC
to - Mailer.AddRecipient

and it seemed to work.
