I have tried several combinations of port number, authentication, etc. I always get the same result. CDO.Message.1 error '80040213' The transport failed to connect to the server. /mqtgolf/friday/xsend.asp, line 35 My code is essentially the example provided by Winhost. Dim objMessage Dim objConfig Dim Flds set objMessage = createobject("cdo.message") set objConfig = createobject("cdo.configuration") Set Flds = objConfig.Fields Flds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 Flds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com" ' Passing SMTP authentication Flds.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1 'basic (clear-text) authentication Flds.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") ="[email protected]" Flds.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") ="rarelyused" Flds.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465 'basic (clear-text) authentication Flds.update Set objMessage.Configuration = objConfig objMessage.To = "[email protected]" objMessage.From = "[email protected]" objMessage.Subject = "New Task" objMessage.fields.update objMessage.HTMLBody = "This is a test sent from CDO using smtp authentication." objMessage.Send Help! (And, yes I know that the user name and password are here. I can change the pw after I get it to work.)
Yes. I tried every port that I found suggested in many forums. The same logic works just fine when I use the Winhost email server to send mail. Unfortunately, when I do that and the receipient is a Gmail account, google appends "SPAM-LOW:" to the subject line. In most cases, I can live with this, but it would be a lot cleaner if I could used smtp.gmail.com to send the email.
Problem solved. I added two lines to the code shown above and everything works just fine. Flds.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = 1 Flds.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 30 Yee Haw! Now I can use google's email server for all outbound email from my Winhost sites. This is very good. Note that the "SPAM-LOW" message goes away when the email is sent to a gmail account. Thus, I have changed the password. If you want to test, use your own gmail account.
Google SMTP requires connection over SSL to send mail out from their server, below is a sample to send the mail using .NET built in System.Net.Mail or when using CDO component, simply add one line to enable SSL ** Flds.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = 1 ** http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a650/how-to-send-email-in-aspnet.aspx http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a617/how-to-send-mail-using-cdo.aspx <%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %> <%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" %> <script language="C#" runat="server"> protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { //create the mail message MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); //set the addresses mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]"); mail.To.Add("[email protected]"); //set the content mail.Subject = "This is an email"; mail.Body = "This is from system.net.mail using C sharp with smtp authentication."; //send the message SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com"); NetworkCredential Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "password"); smtp.Credentials = Credentials; smtp.EnableSsl = true; smtp.Send(mail); lblMessage.Text = "Mail Sent"; } </script> <html> <body> <form runat="server"> <asp:Label id="lblMessage" runat="server"></asp:Label> </form> </body> </html>
