Hey all... :)
Ok, I'm fairly new to running servers and snitz... and I'm basically not able to use snitz's email function. So I just got a few questions to ask and would GREATLY appreciate any help you lot can give!!
Ok, is there any decent guides out there for setting up the features of Server 2003? I think I've got it all mostly figured out and have got snitz working for me nicely.
My BIGGEST problem is email via ASP though. I have never managed to get it to work and this annoys me lots.
Firslty, Do I have to have exchange? and if so, what does SMTP do? I'm pretty sure I got SMPT set up but it doesn't seem to help any.
Secondly, I've heard people on here saying that CDONTS isn't a good choice for use with 2003. If thats the case, what SHOULD be used? Is there any modifications to be made to Snitz if CDONTS shouldn't be used?
I've tried various other ASP email scripts and never got them to work either.
If someone could provide me with a easy, no frills list of what I need to get ASP email working then I would be eternally in your debt!
Thank you greatly in advance!  |

Ok, so my version of snitz has CDONTS, chilli!mail and CDOSYS...
CDOSYS is best for Server 2003 IIS6 right?
Is there any good SMTP set up guides out there? It seems basic enough, but I've got 3 different domain names which I get confused about. |

CDOSYS would be the best choice on a 2003 Server.
No you don't need exchange, but you do need to have the local SMTP Service instaled you can do this from add/remove programs -> windows components.
Your firewall will need to allow traffic outbound on TCP Port 25

Yup, I did all that... Firewall is set, SMTP installed and set up ( i think) ... and will set the forums to use CDOSYS.
No joy however... :(
Its been suggested I just use the SMTP service offered by my ISP.... spose it'll do, but would've like to use my own server. :| |

I don't have exchange... using regular server2003 iis6 SMTP... nothing in the badmail folder.
I have just noticed this however:
In inc_mail, I have cases for aspmail, aspemail, aspqmail, cdonts, chilicdonts, dkqmail, geocel, iismail, jmail, smtp, ocxmail, ocxqmail, sa-smtp, and smtp.
no mention of cdosys... something to do with that??
the cdonts case looks like this:
case "cdonts"
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject ("CDONTS.NewMail")
objNewMail.BodyFormat = 1
objNewMail.MailFormat = 0
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors
objNewMail.Send strSender, strRecipients, strSubject, strMessage
If Err <> 0 Then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Your request was not sent due to the following error: " & Err.Description & "</li>"
End if
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors |

| You shouldn't have to add any code jamesson, CDOSYS is supported by Snitz out of the box so to speak. |

Ok, I've got it sending email again, only allowing mail through from my domains... as far as I can tell anyway.
Although I've still got 'Authentication' set to anonymous... little worried about that. If I set that to anything else, other peoples email addys won't send though the server...
This is helpful guys, take a read:
