Getting a mailer script to work

[Doug Parker]

I'm trying to get a script to email some results to a certain address. I've read about the cdont system, but nothing happens when I execute my script. Here's a version that isn't working:

Dim objCDO
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

' This code assumes the above CDO
' instantiation code is included
objCDO.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
objCDO.From = "(e-mail address removed)"

Dim txtSubject
txtSubject = "Message text"

objCDO.Subject = "Message Subject"
objCDO.Body = txtSubject
objCDO.Send

'Cleanup
Set objCDO = Nothing


I'm doing this for a client and posting to a remote server, so I have no idea how to check and see if it's installed, but they did send me the following when I inquired about their smtp facilities:

AspTear - Acts like a Web client and pulls data from Web pages; performs POST, GET and SSL functions
w3JMail - Mailer component; current version in use by Interland w3SiteTree - Site tree component used to make navigation trees
SAFileUp - Used to upload files; current version in use by Interland SACheck - Used to validate form input ASPMail - ASP Mailer
ASPPop3 - POP3 client for ASP
AspLib - General function library for ASP
ASPDNS - DNS Lookup and reverse lookup
AspImage - Creates or modifies images "on the fly"
email.dll - Mailer component
pricekey.dll - Cart 32 for shopping carts
cdonts.dll - Mailer component
pfppross.dll - SSL functions

Verizon will support the above DLLs by doing the following:

Verify that the DLL is installed by checking the registry on the server
Verify that the permissions for the DLL are correct for global uses.


I see that cdonts.dll is installed, but I don't know how to "Verify that the DLL is installed by checking the registry on the server"

I know PHP and Unix, not Microsoft. Please help.

Thanks...

You might try switching from CDONTS (which is being phased out) to the
newer CDO such as can be seen in the E-mail Attachment example at
