I don't see an option to input a server name, in the e-mail server configuration window - just e-mail server address and administrator e-mail address. According to my host I need to set the hostname to localhost in order for the email configuration to be set up.

I am using cdosys, and don't receive an error message - in fact it says email sent successfully....

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

localhost is the email server address

Goto Admin Options >> E-mail Server Configuration

Its the E-mail Server Address: field.

Thanks for that lads - still not working though, and it still says sent successfully. I'm at a complete loss on this one, being a newbie....

Find the CDOSYS section of inc_mail.asp and change

on error resume next

to

on error goto 0

(Think there might be more than one)

Try to send email and see if it raises an error. If it does, copy it here.

I'm not getting an error message Podge, sent successfully again (There is only one 'on error' mention in the code).

The funny thing is that the email is working for new users - they are receiving the registration confirmation email. It's just the email to other members that's not working?

Maybe you could ask Rodge??!!!

Thanks for the swift reply by the way....

that is a relaying issue most likely, emails to new users are all sent from the forums email user account, where as emails between users are sent from the users email account, so if they don't arrive it is almost certainly a relaying issue. This is a server configuration issue not a Snitz issue

In other words your host requires a local sender i.e. the mail must come from a domain set up on the mail server. Have you edited inc_mail.asp to include a username and password ?

i.e. something like this


case "cdosys"
Set iConf = Server.CreateObject ("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields 

'Set and update fields properties
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 'cdoSendUsingPort
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strMailServer
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1 'cdoBasic
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "dude@yourdomain.com"
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "password"
Flds.Update

Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objNewMail.Configuration = iConf

'Format and send message
Err.Clear

Rodge (the feckin eejit) doesn't know.

Tried that Podge - still not working though, I even tried setting smtpauthenticate to 1, as you have it above but no luck yet...

One other thing - is it possible to turn off the email poster option, and still have email registration active? It's not important for posters to email each other, but the email validation is...

no problem, I have moved the topic now, have you found the answer you needed ?

One way to get this to work is to have a second email address for the forum which you just junk, say noreply@myforum.com you can then use this as the sender of the email, but use the actual members email as the from adddress since they can be different it should work (that's if you didn't want to remove the email members stuff)

I used OBmoderator's modification of the pop_mail.asp file (under the 'Turn OFF Email Other Members' post), and I'm happy enough with that. I'm new to asp, so it's a bit hair-raising to say the least but there's some excellent help on this forum.

Thanks to everyone for the help....
