send method CDONTS.NewMail

[vasanth kumar]

I am running the following script for sending e-mail thro web

Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCDOMail.From = "(e-mail address removed)"
objCDOMail.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
objCDOMail.Subject = "Library books"
objCDOMail.BodyFormat = 0
objCDOMail.MailFormat = 0
objCDOMail.Body = "hi"
objCDOMail.Send
Set objCDOMail = Nothing
-------------------------
I get the following error, when I call send method of CDONTS.NewMail object
---------------------
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied

/cae/library/issueupdate.asp, line 61

----------------------------

I tried both the following. Everything looks fine. My OS is windows200
server

Check User Rights in the SMTP Virtual Server in IIS.
I would suggest using CDO instead of CDONTS.


Set objCDOMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objCDOMail.From = "(e-mail address removed)"
objCDOMail.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
objCDOMail.Subject = "Library books"
objCDOMail.BodyFormat = 0
objCDOMail.MailFormat = 0
objCDOMail.Body = "hi"
objCDOMail.Send
Set objCDOMail = Nothing

Pleading sagacious indoctrination!

Only administrators have permissions for SMTP Virtual Server in IIS. Who
else should have?

 

[vasanth kumar]

now I get the following error. when I call send method
----------------------------------------------
CDO.Message.1 error '80040220'

The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid.

/cae/library/cdomail.asp, line 31

Stop using CDONTS!

I disabled Anonymous Access for my webfolder.
I gave Authentication as Basic Authentication.
users login to this folder and update data. here I am running a script for
sending a mail.
The logged user does not have modify/write permission to the
inetpub/wwwrot/mailroot/pickup folder.
so my script is failing(as Permisson Denied") when I call send method of
CDONTS.NewMail object.
I gave modify permissions to all the users of this tool for
inetpub/wwwrot/mailroot/pickup folder.
then my script is successful.

Is this right way? How do people handle this kind of situation.
is there any danger in doing the above step?

Any suggestion appreciated

ASP.Net has its own SMTP solution (which may use CDO behind the scenes, I'm
not sure... but the code you will use is certainly a re-write). Please
follow up in a .NET newsgroup for more information.
