send mail script

[andreas57]

this script worked under wnt but on the new ms 2000 internet information server it doesn't work anymore.

Dim objMail
set objMail = server.createobject("SMTPsvg.Mailer&quot
objMail.FromName = sFromEmail
objMail.FromAddress = sFromEmail
objMail.RemoteHost = sEmailServer
objMail.AddRecipient sToEmail, sToEmail
objMail.Subject = sSubject
objMail.BodyText = sText
if objMail.SendMail then
SendEmail = ""
else
' Message send failure
SendEmail = objMail.Response
end if
Set objMail = nothing

i always get the error: page cant be displayed server failure 500

I am not sure I really understand the underlying "stuff" with these types of things but do you know if your new version of the server supports the SMTPsvg object.

I use interdev and it has a CDONTS mail object in the toolbox and you can tell if your server has the support for it if the "intellisense" lists popup for the object. That is all I know about how to tell if the server supports the object.

I think I would look into that, I just wish I could tell you where to look, but I just don't know.

As I recall the that is the SMTP object from serverobjects.com they have a test tool on their site to test to make sure it is properly setup. Your code looks right though from what I see.

To further make the wters murky - you can have CDONT on your server, but the SMTP service could be down or not installed. If you have your virtual server running in a seperate memory space then you also might not be able to 'see' CDONTS properly - there is a problem on IIS 4 and NT4 with not having access to certain parts of the metabase if your virtual server is running in its own memory space.
