Background:
I’m a novice user, and this is my first installation. My host server is on GoDaddy.com Windows platform, IIS-6 and ASP 2.0 and higher, and the forum is on a subdomain if that matters. I’m using the current version of Snitz Forums 2000 v34_06 downloaded about a week ago, the DBtype is MS_Access and the configuration string is: strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=d:/hosting/pbenbrown1/forums/drfd\DBNAME.mdb" '## MS Access 2000
Problems:
1. Email is not going out from the forum on approval of new members, and I have tried addresses on 2 different pop3 servers in the email configuration section.
2. When I try to update my Admin profile by replacing yourmail@server.com with my address (and again I’ve tried addresses on a 2 different domains), I get the following error message:
There Was A Problem With Your Details
· Your request was not sent due to the following error: The transport failed to connect to the server.
I cannot find either of these problems addressed in the FAQs or among the other topics. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Your patience with an unsophisticated user is appreciated, as a lot of the terminology is still foreign to me.< |

| Yes. I tried using two different email accounts on different domains, both of which I have successfully setup in MS Outlook. I'm using the same server address. However, I don't see where, in the snitz email configuration, there is any place to enter my email password or authentication information--just the server name and my address. What am I missing?< |

| There are email components that will allow you to use authentication and others that do not allow that. Anyway, you will have to change some code to get that to work. What email component are you using?< |

So...
1. Is my code correct?
2. What exactly should I be asking GoDaddy when I call?
My GoDaddy email works fine with MS Outlook by the way. I would think they'll just refer me back to Snitz support for an issue with Snitz forum software, but I'll be happy to try. See question 2. above.
Thanks for trying to help.< |

Thank you. That allowed me to update the Admin Profile email address. Unfortunately my forum email still does not work. I also tried undoing the other changes I described here today and tried again, but still no luck.< |

| Better ask Godaddy what do you need to do to have email support in an ASP app, what component and server to use, port, authentication and such. Check whether they have a sample ASP script that works.< |

| Usually hosts like GoDaddy, 1and1, et al have some sort of a support page with some sample code. If you can find that it would help us all help you.< |

Thanks Guys, I called GoDaddy and based on your suggested questions here is what they sent me:
// language -- C#
// import namespace
using System.Web.Mail;
private void SendEmail()
{
const string SERVER = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";
MailMessage oMail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
oMail.From = "emailaddress@domainname";
oMail.To = "emailaddress@domainname";
oMail.Subject = "Test email subject";
oMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html; // enumeration
oMail.Priority = MailPriority.High; // enumeration
oMail.Body = "Sent at: " + DateTime.Now;
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = SERVER;
SmtpMail.Send(oMail);
oMail = null; // free up resources
}
Some of it looks familiar, but as a newbie I'm not clear what I need to do with it. Can you look at this and tell me or show me how my inc-mail.asp file should look?< |

| Looks like the server should be: relay-hosting.secureserver.net and it doesn't seem to require authentication. This means an unchanged inc_mail.asp should work, if you define relay-hosting.securerserver.net as the email server to use.< |
