Post Email in ASP
I need to send an email from my ASP page when a user clicks a button, but my page is on a stupid public education server. I can't use CDONTS and probably not SMTP either. How can I do it without the <form action="mailto:"> thing?

Thanks.

If you are on a WinNT4 Server, I don't know of an alternative.
If you are on a Win2K Server, though, CDO for Windows 2000 allows CDO to use an external SMTP server, even if the internal (local) SMTP Server has been disabled.

googling "cdo for windows 2000" smtp server quickly turned up a number of resources (I had checked in Wrox's ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference earlier)

Curiosity
Just out of curiousity why is it that you can use cdonts?
And that is the only thing i would suggest using code or an object taht requires an smtp is crap anyway.

I said I use cannot use CDONTS. The NT stands for NT as in Windows NT. My server is not NT. I was asking about CDO which is for non-NT Windows.

I use this code on a windows 2000 box not NT and it works fine

Set MyCDONTSMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
HTML = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC""-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"">"
HTML = HTML & "<html>"
HTML = HTML & "<head>"
HTML = HTML & "</head>"
HTML = HTML & "<body bgcolor=""FFFFFF"">"
HTML = HTML & "<br>" & vbody
HTML = HTML & "</body>"
HTML = HTML & "</html>"
MyCDONTSMail.From= "Server"
MyCDONTSMail.To= "Whoever@blah.com"
MyCDONTSMail.Subject="Subject title"
MyCDONTSMail.BodyFormat=0
MyCDONTSMail.MailFormat=0
MyCDONTSMail.Body=HTML
MyCDONTSMail.Send
set MyCDONTSMail=nothing

Give that a try hope it helps.

I do not have CDONTS! That's what I have been saying. Windows 2000 IS NT! There are only two kinds of OS from Microsoft: DOS and NT. NT is XP, 2000, and NT. DOS is ME, 98, 95, and MS-DOS.
