Does CDONTS return success/failure status?

[multiplex77]

Hi,

I'm using CDONTS to send out emails in ASP.

Set objMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot
objMail.From = "me@myco.com"
objMail.To = "youyourco.com" 'bad email
objMail.Subject = "Demo"
objMail.Body = "Message"
objMail.Send

The problem is that it doesn't return any result, whether the mail was sent or not.

Questions:
1. is it true that even if the parameters are wrong, like the eg above, there is no error message returned?

2. How can I determine if the mail was successfully sent or not?

Thanks for the help.

if the parameters are incorrect then the mail will not be sent. you may not recieve a error and see nothing in effect happen when the mail is sent or attempted to be sent. that is what error handling is for.

2. How can I determine if the mail was successfully sent or not?
do this after the .send
Response.write("Mail was Sent&quot


I don't see anything wrong with the code you provided. was there some kind of error or was this just a reference question A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

onpnt,

Thanks for your reply.

It's good that CDONTS does not error out when a parameter is wrong, but I need some confirmation that there was no error. In the eg. I gave, the "To" field was an invalid email, but if I write Response.Write("Mail sent&quot after the .Send call, it will indicate that it was sent, even though the email was actually bad.

It was just an example I gave. In my actual code, the To and From fields are all dynamically assigned, so they may be invalid emails, etc.

So I guess the only way would be to check the email validity before invoking CDONTS.

Thanks so much for the help!

Yes!

I suggest doing this in the form though via client side. then if it's wrong you never get to this stage in the process.
