Hi Folks,

I have been going in circles for weeks - trying to find the best way to send
and manage emails from my ASP application.  The email page might send as
many as 500 individual emails at a time.  The emails are in the user
database for the website.  It's used for sending group notices and passwords
to the members.

I'm currently using CDONTS - which works ok - although it is very slow to
send 500 emails. (each email is customized with user info - so it loops
through the database).  But CDONTS is on the way out - so I'm considering
CDOSYS. But CDOSYS does not seem have a way to set a 'reply to' address.  I
need to direct bounced emails to a bounce mailbox.  So I can update my user
database and flag the bounces.

I have tried the "ASPEmail" component, which has a function to
programmatically access the bounce mailbox and update my database.  But it
is much slower than CDONTS and it crashes my server at 500 emails.  If it
worked better - and if it was able to use more than one bounce mailbox, I'd
pay whatever thay are asking for the component.

So, I'm stuck without a good way to send and manage my emails.  Because I
can't find a commercial solution that I can tie into my ODBC database - and
easily program in ASP, I'm looking for do-it-yourself solutions - and
finding them hard to come by as well.

Does anyone have a suggestion for sending and managing large numbers of
custom emails - while also being able to track and flag bounces in the ODBC
databse?  I will gladly pay for a component - if it's reasonably easy to
use.

Thanks very much for any advice,

It does.

set objMail  = createObject("CDO.Message")
    With objMail
    .from = fromaddress (1)
    .to = toaddress
        .replyto = replytoaddress (2)
    .subject = subject
    .textbody = textbody
    .send
    End With
set objMail = nothing

If no replyto(2) value is supplied, the reply-to address defaults to
the one specified in .from(1).

Thank dave.  It looks like I was barking up the wrong tree.  I think what I
want is a "return-path" property.  I still want the recipient to be able to
reply to me.  But if the message bounces, I want it to go to a different
mailbox.

Thanks,
Jack
