CDONTS Permission Denied

Hey all, I am getting a permission denied error on line

I've done a bunch of searches on this and came up with many different reasons why this would happen, but I can't seem to fix it.

Any one had this problem as well? Thanks

If your error is from an asp page, perhaps the anonymous internet user account (IUSR_computername) doesn't have permissions to the maildrop folder on the server.

This is just a guess

yea thats def it, but i am having some problem getting it to work with MS Exchange

Thanks

i had the same problem about a week ago.
i found that installing the smtp service on my 2000 machine and granting the iusr_servername permissions allowed me to send email.
basically, if you have IIS running, adding the smtp service takes about 2 minutes from the cd.

yes thanx mad8, but they wont do that here at my job They would rather have a mailto: lol crazy no?

bummer
talk to your sysadmin, the smtp thing isn't the same as a smtp server and the only thing that will be able to send mail with it will be that machine (and only programatically). Maybe you can get your admin to sneak it in on them

well we just upgraded to IIS 5, so things are a little crazy right now, I have to change a lot of my code, and as far as the mail thing, it's a little more complex from what they tell me. They dont want to have to edit MS Exchanges Registry which is apperntly needed to do that.
