cdo mail getting stuck in queue

Hi,
I am trying to get cdo.message working on my home development machine,
however, when I send it it appears to get stuck in the queue and never
actually gets sent.

If I don't have a domain SMTP set (either alias or remote) then I get an
error on page. But if I set these, the email just sits on the queue. I have
been trying to work it out from other posts and forums, aspFAQ etc but with
no joy.

Could someone supply a step by step guide to getting SMTP set up on a win2K
pro machine and how to get these mails out of my servers queue and into the
outside world so I can properly test code withing having to upload to my
hosts server and get the email back?

Many thx for any help.

Whatever server you're trying to relay through is probably denying the
relay. I suggest you ask in an IIS group such as
microsoft.publi c.inetserver.ii s.smtp_nntp.

Rocky,
Here you go.

--------------------
Set objSendMail = CreateObject("C DO.Message")
objSendMail.Sub ject = "CDO Test"
objSendMail.Fro m = "Stu Test<st*@test.c om>"
objSendMail.To = St*@MyDomain.co m
objSendMail.Tex tBody = "CDO Test"
objSendMail.Con figuration.Fiel ds.Item

'Name or IP of remote SMTP server
objSendMail.Con figuration.Fiel ds.Item

'Server port1
objSendMail.Con figuration.Fiel ds.Item
("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport" ) = 25
objSendMail.Con figuration.Fiel ds.Update
objSendMail.Sen d

The mail gets created and then just sits in the queue and does not a lot
more.

Thx for your help.

First thing is that the SendUsing parameter should be "1" for the
local server, which you're using if you really are using the IP
address 127.0.0.1. If you're using a real IP not on the system and
just put 127.0.0.1 to show us you're sending to an IP, it would be a
"2".

Check the SMTP server logs as well. I don't remember off hand if CDO
code has the issue, but putting the IP address in brackets is required
for many SMTP settings. Also, make sure the system can resolve the MX
record of "MyDomain.c om" correctly, that's the most common reason
email sits in the queue.

I believe this question has been asked before, but I haven't found the solution to it. I've given up on the php mail() function (doesn't work fast enough for sending large amounts of HTML mails). Instead, I'd like to throw all my mails into the mail queue. I'm running sendmail on freeBSD and imagine that I should be able to use the exec() command.

I am building a web app which is supposed to get the information from the user while offline, and then send this information once the user connects to the internet. So far, all of my e-mails are being sent to the C:\Inetpub\Mailroot\Queue folder while I am online, but are not sent on. If I open the files in this folder, I can manually forward the messages, but would prefer to do it automatically. Can anyone advise?

This is a C# console app using SMTP to send an email. The .EML file stays in the Queue folder because I close down the Internet Connection prematurely. What's the best way to keep the Internet Connection live until the IIS server is done sending the email, as evidenced by the .EML file leaving the Queue folder. I can send email using C# and SMTP, but keep closing the connection before
