Basic CDONTS question

objNewMail = Server.CreateOb ject("CDONTS.Ne wMail")

How do I know whether the "Send" command from a CDONTS object actually was
sent?

Is there a status variable that can be checked? Or a log file that can be
written to?

Thanks in advance!

BCC yourself.

All that CDONTS does is create a text file that is compliant with SMTP
requirements and drops the file in \inetpub\mailro ot\pickup. From there,
it's up to your SMTP service to handle sending it. If the message cannot be
sent, like because of a DNS issue or an invalid from address, for example,
you will see entries in the application log on the server. (I believe it's
app, and not system.)

p.s. Unless you're on an NT server, you should use CDOSYS. CDONTS is old
technology. http://www.aspfaq.com/2026

Ray,

Thanks for your reply.

I found the message sitting in the pickup directory.

Any idea why it's just sitting there (I know this goes beyond this
newsgroup)?

Thanks again,
Steve

Use CDO.Message and an SMTP server. CDONTS is horrible, and has been
deprecated for this and a variety of other reasons.

Look in the event logs on the server for SMTP events. There should be
something indicating why the message couldn't be sent, either a DNS issue, a
relaying issue, or something else. Either that, or the SMTP service isn't
running.

I did a working code with CDONTS on NT4 Now I am testing is on w2k and it looks like objCDONTS.Send is completely ignored. I think is it ignored because it throws no errors, neither does the rest of the code setting objCDONTS=Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") and then manipulating its properties. Do I need to somehow set IIS5 to make objCDONTS.Send work?
