Email Application without CDONTS

[rikshawdriver]

Hello.

Can someone explain how or give a link that will enable me to gather material for making an ASP email application without CDONTS on NT Server.

My server is Windows NT4. CDONTS will not work on NT4, will it? Of course this is my first attempt in this.

Thanks in advance.

CDONTS should work on NT4 Server. You might need the SMTP service installed, though.

maybe you could do this....

if the web server has no appropriate mail service pop/smtp you could connect your regular mail sys etc..

try this - look at any incomming external emails properties - in the header you should be able to see the IP address of the mail server at your boarder. (assuming smtp)

telnet to it but specify port 25 for smtp (109/110 for pop2/3 - the following are smtp - pop is slightly different etc etc)

then try the following commands

HELP
HELO test
RCTP FROM:<me@test.com>
MAIL TO:<you@youremail.com>
DATA
hi this is a test
.
(dot and enter to end the message)
QUIT

you should receive and e-mail

having done all this, you could fairly easily do all the above using winsocks in an exe. (ip & port)

once this works - build a com object from it, nail on a few properties for the relevant info - etc etc - then it would just become another object on your page.... etc etc..

could be fun..
