hey, can ASP send e-mails with out perl/cgi or anything else?

Sure you can, but you have to use CDONTS or CDOSYS. But that are standard components in ASP. Search on the Microsoft Knowlegde Base or Google to these keywords.

Check the Smart Mailer ASP extension here at DMXzone: www.dmxzone.com/go?5578

I user AspMailer which is quite simple to configure....(not comparing it to Smart Mailer as have never used it).

You do need to do some hand coding though....I assume that with the Smart Mailer you would have a wizard interface.

ok, I'm running IIS on my XP Professional machine. I do all the testing here and then goto our Windows 2K3 webserver.....so is there another way around that doesn't require cdonts.dll ????

ok...I found cdosys.dll on Xp professional is that going to be enough to run ASP mailer?

When you have CDOSYS.DLL found en configured right, then you can e-mail with ASP and the CDOSYS component. Check the code below and run a check to be sure that your server is configured right.

<%

set objMessage = createobject("cdo.message"
set objConfig = createobject("cdo.configuration"

' Setting the SMTP Server
Set Flds = objConfig.Fields
Flds.Item("schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
Flds.Item("schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "localhost"
Flds.update


Set objMessage.Configuration = objConfig
objMessage.To = " "
objMessage.From = " "
objMessage.Subject = "This is a sample email sent using CDO"
objMessage.TextBody = "Congratulation" & VbCrLf & "If you receive this is, your mail component works"
objMessage.fields.update
objMessage.Send

Response.write "Mail sent..."

set objMessage = nothing
set objConfig = nothing

%>

Good luck....

Hey, I got that ASPMailer thing. I went through the cdonts.dll install and configure tutorial on some microsoft site....everything seems to work fine, but I never get an e-mail?? Is there a tutorial somewhere on setting up and using cdonts.dll in detail.....cause I'm lost!
