    just a moved script that worked ok on one site to a new site.
    the new site with the exact same code gives the transport error.
    the cdo code is what i call the full boat, it has all the parameters i have found:
    dim objMessage
    Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    objMessage.Subject = "volunteer app for " & firstName & " " & lastName
    objMessage.from = fromVariable
    objMessage.sender = fromVariable
    objMessage.To = toEmail
    objMessage.TextBody = "great news.... here's another volunteer application"
    objMessage.AddAttachment appsPath & "\" & firstName & "." & lastNameFile & ".vcf"
    objMessage.AddAttachment appsPath & "\" & firstName & "." & lastNameFile & ".pdf"
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("schema url changed so i can post/sendusing") = 2

    'Name or IP of Remote SMTP Server
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("schema url changed so i can post/smtpserver") = "mail.someDomain.com"

    'Type of authentication, NONE, Basic (Base64 encoded), NTLM
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("schema url changed so i can post/smtpauthenticate") = 1

    'Your UserID on the SMTP server
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("schema url changed so i can post/sendusername") = "myusername"

    'Your password on the SMTP server
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("schema url changed so i can post/sendpassword") = "mypassword"

    'Server port (typically 25)
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("schema url changed so i can post/smtpserverport") = 25

    'Use SSL for the connection (False or True)
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("schema url changed so i can post/smtpusessl") = False

    'Connection Timeout In Seconds (The Maximum Time CDO Will Try To Establish A Connection To The SMTP Server)
    ObjMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("schema url changed so i can post/Smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.update
    objMessage.Send

    now here's the weird part to me anywayat the new site, what i call the short cdo version works!!!! see below
    dim objmessage
    Set objMessage = server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    objMessage.Subject = "volunteer app for " & firstName & " " & lastName
    objMessage.from = fromVariable
    objMessage.To = toEmail
    objMessage.TextBody = "great news.... here's another volunteer application"
    objMessage.AddAttachment appsPath & "\" & firstName & "." & lastNameFile & ".vcf"
    objMessage.AddAttachment appsPath & "\" & firstName & "." & lastNameFile & ".pdf"
    objMessage.Send

    anybody know what could cause this? the new site is happy to send/relay email without authentication? since i'm able to send the emails, i don't need a solution but i expect this to come up again and when dealing with support at the various hosting sites, it will help for me to understand why these differences exist.
    i vividly remember how i started with the 'short cdo version' at the first site and it wouldn't work, until i added all the other parms, and even with all the configuration fields it still didn't work until i had both .from and .sender
