I have got a new service provider and they are using ASTP, Authentication and server port 587.
I need help to get the mail on my forum work again. Any hints?

what is ASTP ?

also, which email component does your forum currently use ?

Sorry I meant to write ASMTP. I am was using ASPEmail before. The out going mail should be set as: asmtp.xxxxxx.xx

There is no error message but mails are not being sent.

You will need to edit inc_mail.asp look for the AspEmail section and add the required port/user/password etc, follow the example here http://www.aspemail.com/manual_05.html

I edited the code like this and added the user name, password nd port but it did not work. Where am I making the mistake? -----------
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
Mail.Username = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Mail.Password = "xxxxxxxxxxx"
Mail.TLS = True
Mail.Port = 993
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
----------------------

Mail.Username = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Mail.Password = "xxxxxxxxxxx"
Mail.TLS = True
Mail.Port = 993

should objNewMail not Mail

objNewMail.Username = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
objNewMail.Password = "xxxxxxxxxxx"
objNewMail.TLS = True
objNewMail.Port = 587

Thanks a lot. It worked.

glad to be of help
