Cannot send CDO.Message from Windows Server 2012
Posted on 2013-12-02
Hi Experts,
I've moved my website from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2012.
The problem I encountered is that I can't send email. The code below worked on the old server but it gives me an error on Windows Server 2012.
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.M
myMail.Subject= request.form("Subject") & " - Test" ' subject of the email
myMail.From= request.form("Email")
myMail.To="webmaster@mysit
myMail.HTMLBody = request.form("Message") & "<b>Test</b>"
myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing
After I submit I get the following error:
CDO.Message.1 error '80040220'
The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid.
SMTP Server is installed on Windows Server 2012, but the email feature still doesn't work.
I would appreciate your help.

most likely a permissions issue on the IIS meta database. This article explains 3 possible solutions, one of them is a code change if you don't want to go messing with permissions:

I've tried the methods suggested and my error message changed:
CDO.Message.1 error '80070005'
Access is denied.
The code change gave me this same error message. I don't know what to do with it.

make sure your IUSR account has access to the folder where the emails are being sent out.
What I'm doing is right click the web site in IIS > Edit Permissions > Security > IUSR and grant full access.
How can I change the permissions for the meta database?

taken from the link i posted:
Grant the IIS_IUSRS group read access to the /LM/SmtpSvc/ and /LM/SmtpSvc/1/ nodes in the IIS Metabase. How can you do it? You can download the Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Resource Kit Tools at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=67351. This resource kit includes a Metabase Explorer that works with IIS 6.0 or IIS 7.0 with IIS 6 Management Compatibility role services installed. On IIS 7.0, the IIS Admin Service must be running for the Metabase Explorer tool to work correctly.
Why will this work? It will work because IIS 7 automatically adds the IIS_IUSRS membership to the worker processes token at runtime. By doing this, accounts that have been defined to run as 'application pool identities' no longer need to explicitly be part of the IIS_IUSRS group.
I've downloaded it and I even made sure that the files are in Program Files.
I also restarted the server, but nothing changed. Isn't the problem that I have IIS 8?

Here is an Amazon article with pictures about using IIS 6 SMTP on Server 2012: http://sesblog.amazon.com/post/TxAXMJU3AAN5JA/Using-IIS-SMTP-on-Windows-2008-2012-with-Amazon-SES
I've followed the Amazon article, but I still get this error message:
CDO.Message.1 error '80070005'
Access is denied.
CDO.Message.1 error '80070005'
Access is denied.
Thank you for your help; it's finally working! I needed to give write permission to the folder C: \ inetpub \ mailroot \ Pickup and that solved the problem. I also found this page helpful:
