How to send HTML emails with ASP classic?

leifoet · Jan 2, 2024

Until now I also used the following specific CDO-code for this sending.

Code:

myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2[/URL]
'Name or IP of remote SMTP server
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")[/URL] ="relay.webhosting.be"
'Server port
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")[/URL] _
=25
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update

Thanks for tips to resolve this inconvenience

I now did a simple test with the following code

Code:

<%
'Dim objMail
Set myMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.From = "info@abc.DD"
myMail.To = "XXXX@YYYYYY.zz"
myMail.Subject = "Test HTML email"

myMail.HTMLBody = "<html><body><h1>Hello</h1><p>This is a test email.</p></body></html>"

myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")[/URL] = 2

myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")[/URL] = "smtp-auth.mailprotect.be"
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")[/URL] = 465
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update
myMail.Send
Set myMail = Nothing

However, this test gives the following error :
CDO.Message.1 error '80040213'
The transport failed to connect to the server.
line myMail.Send

Thanks for tips to resolve this inconvenience - are there specific questions I should ask my provider?
