I've been using CDONTS for quite some time now on various different web sites with little or no problems. however recenlty i've designed a few sites for an internal Intranet (Unfortunately network support won't allow anyone else to touch the servers, even though we're more qualified to do so).
Anyway i had three sites on one of the servers (Windows 2000 Advanced Server) using the CDONTS feature, however about 2 weeks ago all 3 sites have stopped sending the mails as required. The web pages all display fine, and the mail pages re-direct as they should once the mail has been sent.

The problem is that the sites are pretty much useless without the mails. The SMTP and IIS services have been restarted without any resolution to the problem. The server was even re-booted there a few days ago and still no luck.

Am i overlooking something? i'm not even getting failed delivery reports. One other thing that i should point out is that we use severall MS Exchange 2000 servers, all of which i have no direct access to. Thus if i need to get anything changed on any of them or even the IIS server i have to document it fully so that i can get the Network Support guys to do it for me or in certain cases under my supervision.

Any help would be much appreciated, as you can see from the above i'm fairly restricted with what i can do myself. But if anyone has come across this before, please let me know how you resolved it.

PS: i have a similar problem with a web server running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition

Hi Steve

Something on the network must have changed. Do or should I say did you relay to the Exchange boxes or did your SMTP server deliver directly? If you do relay, check the relaying permissions on the target server to make sure your SMTP server is allowed. Also, thinking back, I'm sure the SMTP server has to have an entry for itself to be allowed to send mail.

Post back!
