CDO anchor tag

[dexeloper]

I'm having problems generating emails with an anchor link. This is my code:

set objCDO = server.createObject("CDO.Message")
objCDO.from = "mail@testing.co.uk"
objCDO.subject = "test email"
objCDO.htmlbody = "<a href='http:bbccouk'>testing</a>"
objCDO.to = "tester@software.co.uk"
objCDO.Send

This works fine (I've changed the email addresses).

However if I change the htmlbody to:

objCDO.htmlbody = "<a href='http:bbc.co.uk'>testing</a>"

it fails. No email.

When I run this on another server it works with the full stops but fails when I put // in the href value.

Any ideas?

If you can send some HTML but not hyperlinks then you are likely hitting a filter.

Could you expand on what you mean by a filter.

Some spam filters don't like to see hyperlinks in messages.
