I am developing a business website. On this website is a form which gets completed, in ASP. Once completed the person filling out the form hits the submit button and an email, which contains the information filled out on the form, gets sent. I'm using CDO objects to compose the outgoing email. This process works fine for everyone, EXCEPT AOL users, and I don't know why, or what to do. I'd certainly appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions. I've contacted Godaddy technical support and they're not very helpful. Thanks, Brian
AOL anti-spam policy We had similar problems with AOL and Hotmail. Make sure your domain is correctly configured to send email from godaddy server... also post here the smtp you use to send emails so we can check if the server complies with AOL policy
Hi John, Thank you for the reply. I'm thinking that at this time that the problem is probably "ME".... Last night I took the problem sending script and stripped it down to the bare bones and then tested it. And it worked! So it's probably the 'human' factor and not the technology factor. My next step is to add some code and then try to retest and see what happens. I do appreciate your response and if the testing isn't successful, I may then take you up on your offer. Thanks again, Brian
not sure about AOL.. but with godaddy, if you are using shared hosting, then you need to wait for emails.. in godaddy's shared hosting, all email messages goes to the queue and waits for their email sender cron (shedular) to start sending emails.. in godaddy they sends email after every 30 minutes, sometimes this delay can be in between 1 and 2 hours.. to send emails instantly on godaddy servers, the only way is to take their dedicated servers, that is not good enough.. i saw several hosting companies provides shared hosting with instant email sending..
