CDO email in Windows 2003

[pilot]

I am having trouble sending a form email on a remote W 2003 server.

The test script I am using is as follows
<%@ Language=VBScri pt %>
<% Set objMessage = CreateObject("C DO.Message")
objMessage.From = "me"
objMessage.Subj ect = "test"
objMessage.To = "[e-mail]"
objMessage.Text Body = "testing"
objMessage.Conf iguration.Field s.Item("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")
= 2
objMessage.Conf iguration.Field s.Item("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")
= "mySMTPserv er"
objMessage.Conf iguration.Field s.Item("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport" )
= 25
objMessage.Conf iguration.Field s.Update
objMessage.Send
%>

I have been on this all morning and i'm well fed up.

Is there something staring me in the face??

It's sorted now as far as the CDO part is concerned but I am still
having problems merging it with a form emailer script.

My service providers are being very helpful as I don't get a detailed
error message from the remote server and I cannot test it on mine as
all te settings are different for a local server.

This makes testing scripts very difficult and time consuming for
everyone.

I really think a company as big as Microsoft could come up with a CDO
mailer which would work the same on different computers using the same
platform.

They have. Except CDO isn't a "mailer" and isn't supported by default
on Server 2003. It's deprecated and you should be using CDOSYS
instead. Maybe if you described the problems you are having with
"merging it with a form emailer script" we could suggest options.

Most service providers have their own mail software options as well,
have you checked with yours?

News to me. And to Microsoft. CDO and CDOSYS are one and the same:

"CDO for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 (CDOSYS), which implements
the 2.0 version of the Collaboration Data Objects API
specification, is a Component Object Model (COM) component
designed to simplify writing programs that create or
manipulate Internet messages. CDOSYS is one in a suite of
collaborative COM components referred to collectively as CDO.

CDOSYS is implemented in CDOSYS.DLL.

CDOSYS was first available in Windows 2000 Server. As of
December 2003, CDOSYS is an integral part of the Windows
2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 series of operating
systems."

Bleh! Gotta stop posting without a proper night's rest. Third post I
responded to, first two were CDONTS related and I guess I went into
autopilot.

Of course you're correct. Change CDO to CDONTS in my response and
it's correct, though useless in this case.

Feel free to pummel me at will...
