Send mail from localhost - Returns false
given up on this and tried to test a form on my localhost machine using CDONTS again (this used to work) I have win 2000 Pro and when running this simple code: ------------ Set objSendmail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") objSendmail.From = "t***@test.com" objSendmail.To = "myacco***@home.com" objSendmail.Subject = "Subject Line" objSendmail.Body = "Message" objSendmail.Importance = 2 bolWasSent = objSendmail.Send Set objSendmail = Nothing response.write(bolWasSent) ----------- bolWasSent returns false and I get no mail.....it used to pop up a sending window for outlook express andseconds later my test mail arrived. Looking in my mailroot dir no mails are created. Has anyone ay idea what the problem could be and how I can get this working as it used to, but I have no idea what I have done. Many thx, I'm desperate......working out whats wrong with CDONTS being sent may even help fix sending mail with CDO which I'll then go back to. Stu Stop using CDONTS; use CDO.Message.
http://www.aspfaq.com/2336 http://www.aspfaq.com/2026 Why Outlook Express did or should pop up is a mystery to me. When your application lives on a real web server, it is unlikely that Outlook Express will have a valid account established, and even less likely that such a user would be logged in every time this ASP code is invoked. Don't attempt to use GUI applications from ASP, or to judge the success of the ASP code.

Looking in >my mailroot dir no mails are created. you have SMTP running on this system (if not, CDONTS doesn't work)? Have you tested the SMTP service?

Jeff Hi Jeff,
I suspect they are related (they seem to give the same results), ideally I'd like to use CDO but they should be using the same process I would have thought, I just know for a fact the cdonts used to work. I have run through the instructions at the url you supplied: helo me 250 mydesktop Hello [127.0.0.1] mail from***@mydomain.com 250 2.1.0 m*@mydomain.com....Sender OK rcpt to***@mydomain.com 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for m*@mydomain.com Where mydomain is my sites domainame, and me is my name (a valid email address for my site) I couldn't get any further than the rcpt to: line as it reports it cannot relay (see above) What could I do to sort this....it wouldn't suprise me if this is my problem. Thx Stu On Fri, 18 Mar 2005 20:44:38 GMT, "Stuart Palmer"

Set your SMTP server to relay for 127.0.0.1 and you should be golden. See a SMTP group or the docs for your operating system fo details. Jeff
