I have a problem Using CDO object to send Online E-mails...

Hi everyone,
Well I use this source code to send an E-mail :

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<%

Dim subject , email
Dim objCDO

Body = "<table>"
Body = Body & "<tr><td> Sending E-mail !!!</td></tr>"

Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.Newmail")

objCDO.From = "Sender@myserver.com"
objCDO.To = "Receiver@myserver.com"
objCDO.Subject = " Hi "
objCDO.Body = Body
objCDO.BodyFormat = 0
objCDO.MailFormat = 0

objCDO.Send

             set objCDO = nothing

%>
<html>
<body>
Mail Sent!!!
</body>
</Html>

but I receive "HTTP 500 - internal server error" , and I don't know what's the problem.
Please Help me in this Case, I need it so so much.
thanks for your Help,
regards,
Sam

It maybe because you are not creating the session, try the following:

      strBody = ""
      strBody = strBody & "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"">"
      strBody = strBody & "<html><head><title>Subject</title></head><body><table>"
      strBody = strBody & "<tr><td> Sending E-mail !!!</td></tr>"
      strBody = strBody & "</table></body></html>"

      Dim objSession, objNewMail
      Set objSession = CreateObject ("CDONTS.Session")
      objSession.LogonSMTP "Sender", "Sender@myserver.com"

      Set objNewMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
      objNewMail.BodyFormat = 0
      objNewMail.MailFormat = 0

      objNewMail.Send "Sender@myserver.com", "Receiver@myserver.com", "Subject", strBody
      Set objNewMail = Nothing

      Set objSession = Nothing

He shouldn't need to create a session though. He should be able to setup a cdonts.NewMail and just send it.

Author: When you say you get an HTTP500 error, do you have the IISHELP virtual directory set up in your IIS instance of your site to see the real error message?

If you do not and have the access to set this up, do that. You'll get a much better idea of what the real error message is.

I have an inkling feeling that it might be a "Permission Denied" message hiding behind that HTTP500 error

Whoopes my mistake
Permissions idea may also apply to the drop directories etc, but normally you get a specific error but you could try article http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=260985

Did you follow rhoggren comment and install the IIS Help files, if so did you get a clearer error message and if so can you post it up.

If its error 8002801d then check

If its error 80090020 then check

If its error 800a0046 then check

Ok cool, at least we know it's a permissions issue.

Here is what you will need to do:

Find where your IIS is installed (Default I believe is C:\INETPUB\

Look in that folder for "MAILROOT"

Look in Mailroot for two directories:

Drop
Pickup

You will have to make sure that your IUSR_MACHINENAME account has (I think) modify access to those two directories. If you aren't overly concerned with security and have time to play around, set the IUSR_MACHINENAME account to have modify permissions on all the directories under MailRoot and then remove them one by one.

I don't have access to a system to look at right this moment so I can't say for sure which directories absolutely need that set of permissions, but Im sure of Drop and Pickup needing them.

Hope this helps!!!

Well, the error message received in this problem is definitely a permissions issue. The solution I provided would solve the issue if the person had access to the IIS console.

I don't mind what happens with the question, whatever you guys decide is cool with me :)
