permissions problem

[Gonzosez]

I have created an email app with asp.
When I try to send I get this message.

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046)
Permission denied

I know it has something to do with the IUSR & IWAM accounts on the server.

How do these have to be set?

Showing your code is usually helpful.

Give write permission to \inetpub\mailroot\pickup.

here is the code

Dim objCDO
dim objConfig
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
'Set objCDO =Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

Dim strTo
Dim strFrom
Dim strSubject
Dim strBody
'Dim objCDO

strFrom = "(e-mail address removed)"

strSubject = "Sample HTML Email sent from ASP 101!"

strBody = "text this email"

With objCDO
.To = strTo
.From = strFrom
.Subject = strSubject
.body = strBody
.Send
end with
set objCDO=nothing

The code stops on the .send

it might not be permissions related on the server.. it could be lack of an
smtp server on the server .. or an invalid pickup directlory...or something
like that

just send your email using smtp authentication and a real email server that
you have a pop 3 account with and it should send out fine
like in this article

Give IUSR permission to write to \inetpub\mailroot\pickup. The .send method
merely writes a text file to that directory, and then the SMTP service goes
and sweeps it up when it notices it's there.
