Please could someone help me, what do you use to send mail on a server using asp?
I don't know much about asp but one of my customers wants to know what program our server uses (he suggests: ASPMail, JMail, OCXMail, CDONTS.NewMail) I have done a whereis and there don't seem to be any of these, is he supposed to use sendmail or is that just for CGI programs?
Is there a preinstalled mail program with chilliasp ? If not and you can't use send mail, where can I get one, which one is the best and how do you install it?

Richard

Try SpiceSoft from ChiliSoft

You can get it with the ASP 3.6 Update from them for free :-)

If you're running Chilisoft, find out if you have the SpiceRack installed. It contains the SpiceMail component that you can use. Also, you could you use sendmail. Point the form (that sits on in an asp page) to a mailing script (cgi) and have it redirect back to an asp when it finishes sending.

If your customer is trying to use a pre-written ASP script, the sendmail option could be a problem as most scripts I've seen reference CDONTS, ASPmail, SpiceMail, etc. From what I understand, SpiceMail works nearly the same as CDONTS, just might have tweak the script a bit.

Could someone please give me step by step instructions how to install spice soft (I presume that it is free as long as you already have chillisoft. Also how do I upgrade to the new chillisoft version?
I'm not very good with telnet yet !
If I'm right I su the root, then where do I go to (I presume that I download it with a wget function, but where to, but then how do I install it?

Richard

It's very simple..

You just have to mail to the chilisoft team (you'll find the right adress for cobalt updates on their page) and you'll get an ftp account to download the pkg files :-)

You have to tell them the serial no of your server.. that's all

Thanks,
I didn't rearlise that they where pkg files,

Richard

Just one last thing, is the serial number stored on the server or do I have to ask my supplier for it?

Richard

I'm not sure if it's stored on the raq...
it is printed on it...

but you can try to submit only the mac address of your raq...

Aloha
thought the spice pack was like $250 ????

I'm no sure, but I think if you are using an RaQ4 with CiliSoft ASP you'll get it ..

if it isn't so please let me know...

I got mine off them fro free when I upgraded to 3.60 - although there are still no mySQL drivers for the newer versions of MySQL which is a pain as I want to update that too :(
