ASP formmail / autorespond

I'm trying to use a form where a site visitor can chosse several items and submit their e-mail address. The form should then send the visitor the items they selected as e-mail attachements and mail the form's contents to the website owner's e-mail.

Can anyone recommend a way to do this using ASP.

I have access to aspFusion's advSMTP component on my hosting service, but neither they nor aspfusion provide any documentation with examples of how to use it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you looking for the email componant?

There is an email componant from Dundas software (www.dundas.com) is free and very easy to use. I love it. Sending attachmens is very easy is well documented

A small snip of sample code (w/o the attachment code) is:

<snip>

Set objMailer = Server.CreateObject("Dundas.Mailer")

objMailer.SMTPRelayServers.Add "127.0.0.1"
objMailer.FromAddress = "admin@mysite.com"
objMailer.FromName = "Your Webserver"
objMailer.Subject = "Your requested info"
objMailer.TOs.Add Request.Form("Email")
objMailer.BCCs.Add "admin@mysite.com"

sBody = sBody & "Here is the info.." & vbCrLf
sBody = sBody & "" & vbCrLf
sBody = sBody & "Add misc text here..." & vbCrLf
sBody = sBody & "" & vbCrLf

objMailer.Body = sBody

objMailer.SendMail

Set objMailer = Nothing

</snip>

Assuming you are using a web hosting company, check their support information.

There are numerous ways to do what you want, and it depends upon server configuration.

I've used Jmail, but there are many other components that do the trick.

If you're hosted on an IIS server why not use the built in CDONTS object? Nothing extra is needed.

Code:

<%
	Dim objCDOMail, Email_Body
	
	set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

	with objCDOMail

		.MailFormat	= 1		'0=MIME, 1=TEXT
		.BodyFormat	= 1		'0=HTML, 1=TEXT
		.Importance	= 1
		.From		= "webmaster@domain.com"
		.To		= CustomerEmail
		.Subject		= "your subject here."
		Email_Body	= "text"
		Email_Body	= Email_Body & "more text"
		Email_Body	= Email_Body & "more text, etc."
		.Body		= Email_Body

	end with
	
	objCDOMail.Send

	set objCDOMail = nothing
%>
