Sending Mail

[- Steve -]

Shouldn't this code do it on a Win2k3 box.

Set oMsg = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
oMsg.From = "(e-mail address removed)"
oMsg.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
oMsg.Subject = "Subject"
oMsg.Body = "Body"

oMsg.BodyFormat = 1 '1=Text, 0=HTML
oMsg.MailFormat = 1 '1=Text, 0=MIME

oMsg.Send

Well, the fact that you're asking implies you're getting an error. But to
answer your question, no. You're using CDONTS properties on CDO. Instead
of .Body use .HTMLBody or .TextBody, IIRC.

Okay how about this?

Set objMessage = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMessage.Subject = "Test Subject"
objMessage.Sender = "(e-mail address removed)"
objMessage.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
objMessage.TextBody = "Test Body"
objMessage.Send

When I try to run that it tells me:
CDO.Message.1 error '80070005'

Access is denied.

/mail.asp, line 24



This is running on the same box as an Exchange server. Now I'm pretty sure
I need to change the permissions, but I'm not sure where.

IUSR needs write permissions to \inetpub\mailroot\pickup.

See www.aspfaq.com for common errors like this.

Strangely enough, those properties work just fine, despite total lack of
documentation to support the notion that they would.

It's either being a DC or an Exchange server that's mucking it up becuase on
a plain Windows 2003 install it works fine.

I added the approriate user permissions to the pickup directory with no
luck.

Since in production I'll be using it on a non-DC non-Exchange server I'll
finish my search here. Thanks for the help.
