How to use CDONTS with third party mail server

[jentuck]

I would like to use the CDONTS component to send mail.
I have Internet Anywhere server installed, with smtp port 25.
How do I reconfigure CDONTS to send messages to a different port? I have already tried to reconfigure the default smtp server to port 9025. CDONTS does not send the mail to the smtp server, but just puts it in the "Bad Mail" directory.

Thanks for any help.

I do not think there is the ability to change the port. If you post some of your code maybe it would help.

I think I have the actual code written correctly as it sends a mail correctly, it just places it in the "badmail" directory:

set themail = server.createobject("CDONTS.newmail&quot
themessage = "Name: " & Form_realname & vbnewline & "Address: " & Form_address & vbnewline & Form_city & ", " & Form_astate & " " & Form_zip & vbnewline & Form_email & vbnewline & "Date of Birth: " & Form_month & "/ " & Form_day & "/ " & Form_year & vbnewline & "Time of Birth: " & Form_hour & ":" & Form_minute & " " & Form_amorpm & vbnewline & Form_dontknowtime & vbnewline & "Birthplace: " & Form_borncity & ", " & Form_state & " " & Form_borncountry & vbnewline & "Comments: " & Form_comments

TheMail.send "freeastrochart@eclipsepsychic.com","lbahringer@aol.com", "Free Astro Chart" , themessage

set themail = nothing

I have a third pary mail server on port 25. The mail does not get sent here as CDONTS uses the default smtp server. However, ican't start up the smtp server on port 25 because the third party server is already using it.

I reconfigured the TCP port for the default SMTP server to port 26, as was suggested by the third party mail server tech support. No luck. I don't know if I have the smtp server settings right.

What is the "smart host" and do I need to specify that?

I've tried almost every combination of options to no avail.

Thanks for you help!
