IIS Configuration for Sending Mail using CDONTS

Hi,
i'm using CDONTS.Newmail, object to send the mails to the extranal account like [email protected].. but the mails are not delivered to the given account.

is there any configuration is required to be done in the IIS server for SMTP server to send the mails..

the code is

Code:

---

                dim mail
        set mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.Newmail")
        mail.From = "[email protected]"
        mail.To = "[email protected]"
        mail.Subject = "This is a test mail"
        mail.Body = "This a test mail body"
        mail.Send
       
        Response.Write "<br>U'r mail is sent"

---

Thanks in adv.

All you have to do is have the SMPT Service installed and running in order for it to work...

it may be working but you may not be getting the mail....the from address and to address must be valid e-mails...look in the inetpub directory and see if there are any mails waiting in the queue or if there are any mails in the bad mail folder....

here is the code I use to send emails and it looks like you are also doing it right. so my guess is that you arent specifying valid emails....

Code:

---

Function sendEmail(strTo, strFrom, strSubject, strBody, emailType)
        Dim objCDO
       
    Set objCDO                        = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")                                ' Create a new mail object
        objCDO.To                        = strTo                                                                                                ' Specify To address
        objCDO.From                        = strFrom                                                                                        ' Specify From address
        objCDO.Subject                = strSubject                                                                                ' Specify Subject
        objCDO.BodyFormat        = emailType                                                                                        ' Specify email type -- 0 HTML
        objCDO.MailFormat        = emailType                                                                                        ' Specify email type -- 0 HTML
        objCDO.Body                        = strBody                                                                                        ' Put content in
        objCDO.Send                                                                                                                                ' Send the email
        Set objCDO = Nothing                                                                                                        ' Deallocate mail object
End Function
