Here is my code:

%>
<!--#include file = "../../includes/cdo_connect.asp" -->
<%
	
			Set cdoMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
			With cdoMessage
				Set .Configuration = cdoConfig
				.To = sPartEmail
				.From = Session("coach_email")
				.Subject = "Welcome to eTRaXC&reg; from Coach " & Session("coach_last")
				.TextBody = sMsg
				.Send
			End With
			Set cdoMessage = Nothing
			Set cdoConfig = Nothing

Open in new window

and here is the include:

<%
Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
With cdoConfig.Fields
    .Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
    .Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "mail.bhi.com"
'    .Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "smtp.gmail.com"
    .Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = 1
'    .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl")=true 
    .Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
    .Item(cdoSendUsername) = "xxx@blackhole.com"
    .Item(cdoSendPassword) = "xxx"
    .Update
End With

I appreciate the addressing of the sporadic nature of this but sometimes it is a single email by a single user that does not go through. padas, I will look at your solutions of course but I am wondering why the things you are suggesting would contribute to the sporadic nature of this issue.

Again, this began happening in January after a change was made by my web host...not sure what they changed and they insist that nothing they did could have caused this but it was fine before and it is not now. I have been unable to glean anything from the Failed Request Logs.

In fact I think there WAS a limit issue that they resolved that seemed to help but it is still happening occasionally, and more than I can accept.

I appreciate the continued effort to help me on this.

Yeah padas I was kind of avoiding that major of a change but I may have to go there. The gmail was commented out simply because I don't use it any more but wanted reference what I had tried. The security patch is a logical suggestion but, again, the sporadic nature even with individual email sends is still puzzling.

Can you send me your code so I can modify mine? I am not sure what you mean by "local".

I am going to try that first and then look into moving to a third party. I will also implement your authentication suggestion:

item.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = cdoBasic

What do you mean "on the same machine"? The web server is in one physical location, but it does contain the smtp service. Is that what you mean? Obviously the site users are at other physical locations.

You folks are all incredibly helpful! I will try to implement these suggestions and then, if that does not work, I will look into a third party solution.
