CDOSYS - Not Sending mail?

**Grantspad69** · Apr 24, 2005, 12:04

Hi there,

I am usually a CDONTS man but the hosting company say I must use CDOSYS.
The following code seems to only work correctly when the recipients email address is the same as the sender address.

I have tried to send the email to Hotmail, Yahoo and GMail accounts and it does not send. No error messages, just is not received in the inbox of the account.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Code:

 
	
<!--#include file="values/inc_const_cdo.asp"-->
<%


dim strMailSubject
strMailSubject = rsNewletter.Fields.Item("NewsletterSubject").Value
	
	
strMailMessage = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"">" & vbCrLf
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & "<html>"
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & "<head>"
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & "<title>"
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & strMailSubject
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & "</title>"
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & "</head>"
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & "<body>"
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & "Hello World"
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & "</body>"
strMailMessage = strMailMessage & "</html>"

' mail server parameters for CDOSYS
const strSenderDomain = "domain.com"      ' hostname of sending domain
const strSMTPUserName = "info"	       ' username for mailserver authentification
const strSMTPPassword = "password" 	       ' password for authentication
const strSMTPServerName = "mail"	       ' DNS name of mail server
const strToName = "recipient"	       ' Friendly Name to appear as recipient
const strReplyTo = "info"   		       ' Sender email address this will be the white list address
const strFromName = "Newsletter"             ' Friendly name for sender 

dim strMailServer
dim strSMTPUser
dim strDefMailName
dim strDefMailTo
dim strBccList
dim strCcList

strSMTPUser = strSMTPUserName & "@" & strSenderDomain

strMailServer = strSMTPServerName & "." & strSenderDomain 
strMailSubject = strCompanyName & " " & strMailListSubject
strDefMailName = strFromName & " <" & strReplyTo & "@" & strSenderDomain & ">"
strDefMailTo = strToName & " <" & strReplyTo & "@" & strSenderDomain & ">"


if strMailFrom = "" then strMailFrom = strDefMailName
if strMailTo = "" then strMailTo = strDefMailTo
dim iConf 
dim Flds
dim objNewMail
	        Set iConf = Server.CreateObject ("CDO.Configuration")
        	Set Flds = iConf.Fields 
        Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPort
	    Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strMailServer
		Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = cdoBasic
		Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = strSMTPUser
		Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = strSMTPPassword
		
        	Flds.Update
	        Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
        	Set objNewMail.Configuration = iConf
        	Err.Clear 
			
		objNewMail.To = "NAME <email@domain.com>"
		if strCCList <> "" then		
		objNewMail.cc = strCCList
	end if
	if strBccList <> "" then		
		objNewMail.bcc = strBccList
	end if
		objNewMail.From = "SENDER <email@domain.com>"
		objNewMail.Subject = "Newsletter - " & rsNewletter.Fields.Item("NewsletterSubject").Value
		'objNewMail.TextBody =  strMailMessage
		objNewMail.HTMLBody =  strMailMessage

On Error Resume Next
if bDebug then
response.write strMailTo & "<br>" & strBccList & "<br>" & strccList
else
		objNewMail.Send
end if

		If Err <> 0 Then 
		response.write "Sorry the email was not sent"
		CDOSYSMail = Err
		else
		CDOSYSMail = true
		end if 
		set Flds = nothing
		set iConf = nothing
		Set objNewMail = nothing

I think this might just be a type when you posted... but is your code really...

Code:

<%
	

<!--#include file="values/inc_const_cdo.asp"-->

...

OR is it...

Code:

<!--#include file="values/inc_const_cdo.asp"-->
<%
...

(Notice <% placement)

If its the first one, switch to 2nd one, and then try...

But I don't really know CDOSYS that good (I use JMail), so I can't help you there.

Hi KGH,

It is a typo when I have posted and my code is actually...


<%

Thanks for the suggestion though

have you tried using a static smtp address instead? Just for testing purposes stick your smtp addy in there and does it send? If not there is something wrong with the coding.

Do you get any error messages?

Since your a local man... why don't you change hosts to designerhosting.co.uk, their situated in Peterlee, and im from Gateshead my self.

If you can't do that, then i'd suggest changing your coding, start off simple and check that it sends using a normal cdosys script, using general text instead of variables.

Then start adding variables, if it fails after you've added a new variable, remove it and try again, if it works, find out why it's not working? Try writing when your storing in the variable, does it work? If not theres your problem, if it does then :S i can't help you as much as I thought I could.

p.s.

To avoid receiving large amounts of unsolicited mail, all contact details, such as address and telephone number have been removed from this site.

I'd suggest removing your contact details from your whois as well. My report came back with:

EDIT!: Whois information removed at users request; Gavin

I'd thought I would give you heads up before you still get any crap from people.

Cheers Gav,

I have sent you a private message in relation to the code

I've heard of this issue before, but have never experienced it myself.

Check your mailroot folder on your server for the email

C:\inetpub\mailroot

Depending where it is stored can help you troubleshoot the problem. If it's not there then you know the email left your server.
