For 50 points? Hmmm...

Anyway, what I think is happening is that by using CDOSYS all you're doing is sending a mail message from your IIS machine to the Notes mail server. This is not the same thing as sending mail to the outside world via Notes.

I know very little about Notes but I would've thought that you'd need a COM object to connect to the Notes machine, login, then generate your mail message. This is how it works with Exchange for example.

My question is do you really need to send mail via Notes? Why can't you just send them from IIS using CDOSYS? My guess is that the reason you can send mails internally via CDOSYS but not externally is simply because of a firewall issue. The IIS machine is probably prevented from making connections on the appropriate SMTP port (25??).

If you want to use CDOSYS for mails to the outside world talk to your network admins.

> ok what happen is my office used Notes server for mailling.
> IIS and mail server is in the diffrent server.

I understand that. But do you actually need to send emails via the Notes machine? Or so you simply want to send emails from the IIS machine?

If you want to send emails via the Notes machine then I don't really think I can help you because my knowledge of Notes is very limited.

If you just want to send emails from the IIS machine then the CDOSYS code you posted should work fine. It's more a matter of having your network configured in such a way as to allow the IIS box to make SMTP connections to the internet.

You'll need the Lotus Domino Object (domobj.tlb) and Lotus Notes automation classes (notes32.tlb) on the IIS Server, the easiest is to install the notes client on the server.

<%
Dim session
Dim db
Dim doc
Set session = CreateObject("Lotus.NotesSession")
Call session.Initialize("passwordOptional")
- or -
Call session.InitializeUsingNotesUserName("name", "passwordOptional")
Set db = session.GetDatabase("","");
call db.OpenMail()
If db.IsOpen() Then
Set doc = db.create()
call doc.ReplaceItemValue("Form", "Memo")
call doc.ReplaceItemValue("SendTo", "...")
call doc.ReplaceItemValue("Subject", "...")
call doc.send()
call doc.save(True, False) ' If required
End If
