cdo transport error

[MadeOfRose]

Hi all

i was using cdo object for sending email to a customers.
when use win2000 server or windows xp my script works correctly.
but not on win2003 server r2.

Different thing on my script is i use external smtp server to send my
emails.
for example, i dont use the iis' virtual smtp server. i assign an
another smtp server
like smtp.example.com

what is the different between environments..

thank you

It's always a good idea to show the code you are using (just the
relevant parts), details of the error message you are getting, and
highlight the specific line that throws the error.

these script gives an transport error when objMessage.Send executed.
this script works well on XP.Does not working for external mail server
(mail.server.com)
on win2003 r2 server

any help will be great

thank you

all that error usually means is whatever email server settings and method
you are trying to use is not valid from where you are trying the code at

it could be anything from not being able to see the server over the network
to invalid information, spleeing errors, smtp authentication issues... etc
etc

Thanks kyle

i found the why this problem occur.I was using isa firewall client on
2003 server.
when i connect to the internet directly i dont get the problem.

the interesting part is my winxp had the same configuration with 2003
server.
this is has to be win2003 specific error when you use isa firewall
client.
