Hi,

I am using VPASP 5.5 with CDOSYS or CDONTS to send emails in Windows

2003 server running IIS6.0
But after the customer ordered, the generated

email file (EML) first goes to the

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mailroot\Queue folder and after a minute,

the created file changes to the undeliverable (postmaster)

and goes to the BAD folder. The email always cannot sent out. Is anyone can help me to solve this problem? The VPASP 5.5 works windows 2000 well. I don't what should I need stup on my new windows 2003?

Any suggestion really appreciated. Also I can pay if someone can help me. Thanks,

email: [email protected]

firstly 2003 does not support CDONTS, so you should use CDOSYS

the fact is is going to the queue then bad means that VPASP is setup OK

so it is either relay permissions, or smtp is not running on the server.

Bad News:
I had the same problem. My host mail server requires authentication to prevent the smtp server from being used by spammers. VP-ASP does not support authentication.

Good News:
I fixed it. You need to use CDOSYS and make the following changes to 2 files. With all the "ToDo" tags, looks like they need a few more!

1) in shop$config.asp, add the following lines at the bottom:
' CDOSys Configuration for authentication
const xCDOSysAuth = 1 ' Basic (clear-text), use 0 for none
const xCDOUser = "yourid@yourdomain" ' whatever your user ID is
const xCDOPass = "yourpassword" ' password

2) in shopmail.asp, locate the CDOSYS section. I have included all of it here but, you only have to add the 5 lines of code where indicated by the comments.

If ucase(mailtype)="CDOSYS" then
Dim iConf
Dim Flds
' Send by connecting to port 2 of the SMTP server.
Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2
set Mailer = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields
' Set the CDOSYS configuration fields to use port 25 on the SMTP server.
' With Flds
flds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") =cdoSendUsingPort
'ToDo: Enter name or IP address of remote SMTP server.
flds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") =my_system
flds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 10
/******************* CODE ADDED HERE ***************/
' SET AUTHENTICATION ON IF REQUIRED
' set xCDO... constants in shop$config.asp until VP-ASP adds this
' See http://www.paulsadowski.com/WSH/cdo.htm if you need more options
if xCDOSysAuth <> 0 then
flds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = xCDOSysAuth
flds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = xCDOUser
flds.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = xCDOPass
end if
/****************** END OF ADDED CODE *************/
flds.Update
' End With
' Apply the settings to the message.
' With Mailer
Set Mailer.Configuration = iConf
Mailer.To = my_toaddress 'ToDo: Enter a valid email address.
Mailer.From = my_from & " <" & my_fromaddress & ">" 'ToDo: Enter a valid email address.
Mailer.Subject = my_subject
If Orderattachmentcount>0 then
for i = 0 to orderattachmentcount-1
Mailer.AddAttachment orderattachments(i)
next
end if
If htmlformat="HTML" then
Mailer.HTMLBody = body
Else
Mailer.TextBody = body
End if
Mailer.Send
' End With
Set Mailer=Nothing
Set iConf=Nothing
exit sub
end if

Oh yeah, just paste the code between the /**********/ comments or you'll get a syntax error. That was just to point out the changes.

vpasp put up this help note a while ago which helped me out with my cdosys authentication issue.

its similar to yours but they add how to add your username and password as a config option in your admin which i found handy.

Thanls Constantine. I checked out the "helpnote" and I think they should have looked at their own code and tried it before posting code snipets. If you follow the helpnote explicitly it won't work. Plus, there is a setup for jmail that already looks for xmailuserid and xmailpassword. Would be nice if it was consistent. Thanks for the pointer though, mine works. :-)

I'm having a problem locating the error when testing email. With diag_dbtest.asp, I can send by I don't recieve...

Hi Lage,

You can insert your username and password into the shop$config.asp file now without needing to make changes to the mailing code in most cases.

In the VP-ASP User Guide please see the following section:

5.6.3.1 Configuring CDOSYS to use SMTP Authentication

You can download the guide from:
https://www.vpasp.com/helpnotes/

Hope this helps

Thanks
Cam

Hi Cam,

I've tried the steps outlined in the manual with no success - ergo my question above. I'm trying to locate the issue!

Thanks,
L

Hi Large,

May be best to post in our help desk so our support guys can look further into this for you.

Have you tried the diag_dbtest.asp page to see if any other mail components are installed on the server and work?

Thanks
Cam

After an hour of code hunting I think I have a bug here...

Was able to send intra domain emails with all methods no problem, but nothing outside of the domain.

Figured I had an authentication issue so here I came.

Ended up going to CDOSYS authenticated method and still no joy.

Then I saw this in the post and figured it was a typo, but sure enough it is right there in the source code....

shopmail.asp line 300-301 is connecting to port 2 rather than 25.

All better now.

All Hail J!

I think you found a bug.

I changed the port to 25 and all is now well. You saved quite a bit of torn hair and gnashed teeth.

regards.
