    Introduction



    CDOSYS is a built-in component in ASP. This component is used to send e-mails with ASP.

    Sending e-mail with CDOSYS



    CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) is a Microsoft technology that is designed to simplify the creation of messaging applications.
    CDOSYS is a built-in component in ASP. We will show you how to use this component to send e-mail with ASP.

    How about CDONTs?



    Microsoft has discontinued the use of CDONTs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003. If you have used CDONTs in your ASP applications, you should update the code and use the new CDO technology.

    Examples using CDOSYS
    Sending a text e-mail:

    Code:
    <%
      
      Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
      
      myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
      
      myMail.From="mymail@mydomain.com"
      
      myMail.To="someone@somedomain.com"
      
      myMail.TextBody="This is a message."
      
      myMail.Send
      
      set myMail=nothing
      
      %>
      
    Sending a text e-mail with Bcc and CC fields:

    Code:
    <%
      
      Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")

      myMail.From="mymail@mydomain.com"
      
      myMail.To="someone@somedomain.com"
      
      myMail.Bcc="someoneelse@somedomain.com"
      
      myMail.Cc="someoneelse2@somedomain.com"
      
      myMail.TextBody="This is a message."

    could you please give an idea how to send a mail using cdosys
    using the folllowing code?


    <%

    Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")

    myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"

    myMail.From="mymail@mydomain.com"

    myMail.To="someone@somedomain.com"

    myMail.TextBody="This is a message."

    myMail.Send

    set myMail=nothing

    %>
    i have a page say 1.asp ,if i click a send button on 1.asp, it will go to 2.asp wer this code is written.

    i couldnt find the correct solution frm books and net, i tried a lot, no error is coming but mail is not sent.



    am using asp ,msaccess for this project.
    i have taken a asp connection/space from spaceforhost webhosting company.
    when i enquired they told cdosys is supported by them.

    is there any need of special server settings to run the code?
