One of my clients is on an NT server and it appears that the version of formmail (1.92) that I have doesn't work on NT. Is there a way to get it to work on NT or do I have to look for another script? If I need a different script, which is a good one? I've never worked on sites hosted on NT before.

Thanks.

I would recommend installing CDONTS and using that for mail :)

Unfortunately, I don't have root access as my client is hosting at "Bell Hosting" :rolleyes: That adds to the problem right?

Yes, it does :)

Do you have to use Formmail? You need to find out where blat is on their servers, most Win2K hosts will have it installed.

Here's what the hosting company says....


Please take note that we do not support BLAT on our servers. We do, however, support ASPMail.

Are there any free scripts that I can use that are supported on this system?

Any suggestions are greatly apprecaited :)

Try


Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
Mailer.FromName = "Joe’s Widgets Corp."
Mailer.FromAddress= "Joe@Widgets.com"
Mailer.RemoteHost = "mailhost.localisp.net"
Mailer.AddRecipient "John Smith", "jsmith@toolscorp.com"
Mailer.Subject = "Great SMTP Product!"
Mailer.BodyText = "Dear Stephen" & VbCrLf & "Your widgets order has been processed!"
if Mailer.SendMail then
Response.Write "Mail sent..."
else
Response.Write "Mail send failure. Error was " & Mailer.Response
end if
