I worked for two days trying to get Godaddy SMTP relay to work and was about to pitch this forum software when I tried Gmail as a relay server. It works perfectly!!! Here is the case statement for the cdosys

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

'Set and update fields properties
With Flds
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 'cdoSendUsingPickup (1) cdoSendUsingPort (2) cdoSendUsingExchange (3)
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strMailServer 'this is the value passed from the Admin email setup
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1 'this is the cdobasic enumeration Do not use quotes on an integer
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = true 'this is the statement that uses SSL
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "myGmailAddress@gmail.com"
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "myGmailPassword"
.item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465 'Do not use quotes on an integer

End With
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
Set Flds = nothing
Set iConf = nothing
Set objNewMail = nothing


In the admin email setup:
set the email server = smtp.gmail.com
set the administrator email address = your gmail address.

Hope this post will solve the problems other people are having with godaddy's relay servers. On a side note, godaddy support will not even talk to you about this problem.

I am using GoDaddy, and I am having issues with user to user emailing each other through the forum, forum post, etc. The pop up looks great, but when they hit submit, they get a Error:500 Internal Server error. Does something need to be done to allow multiple people to relay though a Godaddy host? Email Acitvation works fine, and email from the ADMIN account works fine as well. Just user to user fails. Any thought?
I hate Work!
