I just wanted to post a comment as to what worked for my configuration. I have a SBS 2003 server running several websites using IIS 6 on a dedicated ip with bellsouth.net. Ma Bell has SMTP port 25 blocked so I had to do a workaround and could not use exchange server. I have email accounts with godaddy who uses smtpout.secureserver.net and port 3535 to deliver email with outlook.
I read all the email threads for two days flipped more switches that the law allowed trying to figure out what would work and then I came across a thread that gave me the lead I needed to get email working. Here is the configuration in the inc_mail.asp file

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/smtpserverport") = 3535
Flds.Update

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

'Format and send message
Err.Clear

objNewMail.To = strRecipients
objNewMail.From = strSender
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.TextBody = strMessage
On Error Resume Next
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

Now set the email server to "localhost" ... nothing else like smtpout.secureserver works.


Email function works like a charm :)

The way I see it and please jump in to correct me, the localhost uses the SMTP service on the computer you are using to send the email to the godaddy server at port 3535 bypassing anything on the SBS 2003 server.
Thanks Guys...looking forward to having fun with this forum software.

Thanks for posting, it can be useful for someone else.

Using localhost means that the forum code will try to use an email server located... on localhost, using the port you specified.
