    I am having the following ASP code which is not working. I am using CDOSYS and my server supports it. Now I just just testing this simple code but its not working.:-

    <body>
    <%
    Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
    myMail.From="info@kriti-shawls-scarves.com"
    myMail.To="MY-E-MAIL ID"
    myMail.TextBody="This is a message."
    myMail.Send
    set myMail=nothing
    %>
    </body>

    The code looks correct. Do you get an error message? Most likely the proper version of CDONT isn't installed.

    No, I don't get an error message. I tried both in FF and IE.

    My Server supports CDOSYS and not CDNOTS. Its Window 2003 Server.

    You could try adding the following lines:

    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")="smtp.server.com"
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")=25
    myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update

    ... as your host may need you to specify the mail server emails are to go through. Change "25" to your Outgoing SMTP Mail Port and change "smtp.server.com" to the address or IP of the mail server.

    Without those lines, ASP may be thinking to send emails via the internal email server and if that is disabled (which is on almost all hosts because they have a seperate mail server), no emails will be sent.

    Sorry, just thought of it - another option to see if the server supports Persits ASPemail. I find that component quite nice and easy to work with. Not to mention, the Persits web site has tons of examples on how to send various types of emails via that protocol.

    You may also need to include the SMTP authentication. because emails sent without SMTP authentication are blocked by the majority of mail servers on the Internet.

    How to know my SMTP mail server. What should be in place of smtp.server.com ?

    Should it be the server name on which my site is hosted ?

    If you check your email on that domain using Microsoft Outlook, or other email program - you had to specify the mail server in those settings. You would use that same mail server address here.

    Typically, it is mail.yourdomainname.com but it depends on the hosting company.

    In your Hosting Control Panel, where you create email accounts, it should have the address listed there. If you still can't find it, send a support ticket to your hosting company and ask them what the mail server address is for yourdomainname.com

    The mail server is not listed on Hosting CP. I just tried using mail.mydomain.com but its giving error at line 12 which contains mymail.Send Code.

    Ok I will ask my mail server. Do i also need to specify the authentication?
