It sounds to me like you have chosen CDONTS/CDOSYS in your mail settings, if that is so, then they are probably not set up on the server, or your email account settings are wrong.
You should first contact your host and ask them what asp mail component you can use |

| right i think the problem is, that im trying to sent emials from out sode the company and we have the authentication (username and password) set up so anyone from inside the company can sent emails etc... so if i was to go into work, login, then try sent emails, im hoping it will work... |

I would also ask them the address of the mail server you should use e.g. mail.yourdomain.com and whether the mail server requires authentication (username and password).

| is your virtual SMTP service setup correctly in IIS, if so then it is probably a relaying problem, are you able to look in the mail logs to see if it is receiving the mail from the forum and what it does with it |

| I had the exact same problem, all I had to do after a few days of thinking, was to remove a comment in the mail config file, where it says what type of authentication should be used, and set it to basic.. Then it worked for me, and no anonymous access allowed either. |

why did you not post this at Snitz?
The main reasons why this was not posted at Snitz and why I might not post the bugs I find
directly at Snitz anymore are the ways "ruirib and HuwR" take pleasure to criticize just about
anything I post and seem to resent the fact that I want to improve and correct Snitz which, I agree,
serve as the original base for my own Forum.
These are some of the actions I find unacceptable:
ruirib and HuwR take fun to Delete some of my topics, of my replies, locked or move my topic.
A topic posted last week from me to Davio in "Help: MOD Implementation" Forum as been deleted.
Two replies in my topic as been deleted about a bug on snitz topic page:
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=5.96&TOPIC_ID=44136#372029
A Fix to texanman as been deleted (first reply to texanman subject):
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=66162
One of my Multi-Language Topic on Snitz has disappeared last night
Multi-Language and Multi-Language Skin3D
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=40765
etc...
3 times I changed my password and the day after the same game start.
Since I send to HuwR a donation of $200 on December 22, 2006
this guy HuwR has never stop to pick on every thing I post on the Snitz Forum. |
