| an undeliverable message normally indicates there is a problem with the recipient not the sender |

Sir, the host asked me something and i am passing the message so here it is..
Message:
Dear Sir :
Please contact your forum vendor and ask them if there is a way to authenticate the outgoing emails.
Our SMTP server requires authentication and it seems your program is not authenticating itself and hence the error. |

| yes, there is a way of authenticating it, if you are using CDOSYS as the mail component, you can edit and uncomment a couple of lines in the inc_mail.asp file that relate to authentication. |

you need to look in inc_mail.asp for the following code
you need to uncomment (remove the ') from the lines in red above, and provide the username and password, your host should give you this. |

See my other post, the problem is that you use localhost and replyto is not set up correctly. It is not the recipients' fault, it is now common practice. When you send mail out from localhost, it is the same way spammers use netbot to spam. Therefore most mail servers will treat your mail as spam.
Try the code below and I'm quite sure it'll work as it worked out beautifully for me and put all your troubles behind. The key is the "From" address must apply to your SMTP account, usually it is the same as your login name/address.
......
case "aspemail"
......
objNewMail.Host = "smtp.sunnywantsome.com"
objNewMail.AUTH=LOGIN
objNewMail.Username = "sunnywantsome@sunnywantsome.com"
objNewMail.Password = "YourPassword"
objNewMail.FromName = strFromName
objNewMail.From = "sunnywantsome@sunnywantsome.com"
objNewMail.AddReplyTo strSender
...... |

aspemail only supports authentication if your host is using the full registered version, most hosts however use the free version which does not support authentication.
The key is nothing to do with the from address, if you are using authentication and have supplied a username/password the from/replyto addresses make no difference whatsoever. |

Fixup, the reply-to header is already included in the base Snitz code for AspEmail.
case "aspemail"
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
objNewMail.FromName = strFromName
objNewMail.From = strSender
objNewMail.AddReplyTo strSender
objNewMail.Host = strMailServer
objNewMail.AddAddress strRecipients, strRecipientsName
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.Body = strMessage
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors
objNewMail.Send
If Err <> 0 Then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Your request was not sent due to the following error: " & Err.Description & "</li>"
End if
You don't have to hardcode the email address into inc_mail.asp either, you can enter it in the Email Server Config. |

| In the old code the From address was also set to strSender. The point was not about whether you set the ReplyTo field or not; it was to make sure the From address matches the SMTP account. Then you have to put strSender to the ReplyTo field so the recipient can reply to the real sender, otherwise the reply always goes to the admin. |

| The address in Email Server Config is used only for messages from the Admin. When the message is from a member, strSender is set to the member's address. So yo have to hardcode the SMTP's address into inc_mail.asp for the "From" field, so the from header always matches the SMTP account. |

total rubbish, the SMTP address in email config is the SAME smtp address that is used to send ALL emails it is totally unnecesary to have to hard code it in inc_mail.asp. The only thing that requires hard coding is the username/password if you need to use smtp authentication.
Your are getting yourself confused, the SMTP server has nothing to do with the "From" field the from field holds an email address the smtp address holds a domain name they are not the same thing.
