problems with CDONTS... please help!!

[chassid]

All,

I am trying to sent an automatic e-mail from a form. The problem I am experiencing is with CDONTS. What happens is the form gets loaded and it tells me the e-mail was sent, but I never get the e-mail!!! I think the problem may be that the CDONTS is not loaded correctly on my server. I have check my server and it does have the CDONTS .dlls, but I am not sure how to get them installed or check if they are installed correctly.

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem? How to see if the CDONTS.dll is installed correctly and how could I fix this problem?

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Daniel

I found something on the WEB

<%
Dim MyBody
Dim MyCDONTSMail
%>

<%
Set MyCDONTSMail = CreateObject(&quot;CDONTS.NewMail&quot
MyCDONTSMail.From= &quot;somebody@nowhere.com&quot;
MyCDONTSMail.To= &quot;nobody@nowhere.com&quot;
MyCDONTSMail.Subject=&quot;This is a Test&quot;
MyBody = &quot;Thank you for ordering that stuff&quot; & vbCrLf
MyBody = MyBody & &quot;We appretiate your business&quot; & vbCrLf
MyBody = MyBody & &quot;Your stuff will arrive within 7 business days&quot;
MyCDONTSMail.Body= MyBody
MyCDONTSMail.Send
set MyCDONTSMail=nothing
%>

The problem could be with your SMTP service on the server. The mail could be sitting within one of the directories under

C:\inetpub\mailroot

- depending on which directory your mail is residing in will either supply you with an answer or allow a better starting point for solving the problem.
