Hotmail blocks emails sent w/ CDONTS/CDOSYS????

[Todd M. Taylor]

Hello;

For some reason, the email scripts on my web site can't send emails to
Hotmail accounts. No error is generated, but no email is sent either. I've
done some searching on this matter, and it appears as though I'm not the
only one having this problem, but I have yet to find a solution :(

Below is my CDOSYS script that was *supposed to* resolve the problem by
passing the SMTP server's along with the email, but it doesn't work :(

Have any of you had success with sending emails to Hotmail accounts via CDO?
I don't have control over the server's setup because it's a hosted account.

Sincerely,
Todd M. Taylor
