Cdonts

I wrote this code to send an e-mail but the MailObject.Cc that is not at our e-mail server (a free account at yahoo for testing) has not received the e-mail, what is wrong?
Thank you
dimis

Code:

Set MailObject = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") 

MailObject.From = "unknown@some.net"
mailName= request.QueryString("email")
MailObject.To = "dimis@some.net" 
MailObject.Subject = "some"
MailObject.Body = syndromh 
MailObject.Cc = trim(request.QueryString("email"))
MailObject.Send 
Set MailObject = Nothing

For testing perhaps try switching the To and Cc parts to see if e-mails are really being sent. If e-mails are being sent then perhaps yahoo is flagging your e-mail as spam for some reason. If e-mails are not being sent then perhaps switch to the newer CDO instead of the outdated CDONTS.

And here's a nice CDO link even if you don't use the attachment part:
Email (with Attachment)
http://www.asp101.com/samples/email_attach.asp

And if all else fails then perhaps ask your Web host for a sample e-mail script that works on their server.

MailObject.From = "unknown@some.net"
mailName= request.QueryString("email")
MailObject.To = "dimis@some.net"

Try this. I used it and sends email to yahoo.

Code:

Dim objMailer
SET objMailer = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMailer.From = Sendby
objMailer.To = email_or_Pagers
objMailer.Subject = "Message"
objMailer.TextBody = Msg
objMailer.Send
set objMailer = Nothing

I believe starting Server 2000 CDONTS is no longer supported. I used it before and it quit when my server provider upgraded to server 2000.

I am running win server 2003 and CDONTS still works with it.

dimis,
if the company you are using for hostnig is set up like me, then the email address that you are putting in the "from" part of the message has to exist on the server. otherwise the server just rejects the attempt and it goes into digital oblivion. its a measure to help prevent spam. it requires that the sender of the email have a valid account on the server.
