[RESOLVED] totally stumpted on this mail send issue.

I have some legacy websites that I maintain for some customers, and they needed some things moved around.

The only real server side coding is to send emails. The sites are hosted on godaddy IIS7 hosting.

I use the CDO.Message object to send the emails. My issue (which did NOT exist until recently, with NO changes to code/hosting service at all) is that the server throws up an error IF the HTML body of the email to be sent contains the @ sign in it.

So on the form that is to be filled out, there is an email address field, which obviously will include the @ sign.

During debugging I narrowed it down to that fact. If the @ sign is in the HTML, it errors out, otherwise it works.

I am doing some testing right now to encode the @ sign as &#64

However I really want to know why this all of a sudden started happening.

Any thoughts?

I don't even know what the deal is but it suddenly started working again. Then failed a few times, then worked again, and is not still working. Using [email protected] as the email address seemed to make it fail (although other times it worked). I have no idea what the issue is, (and have no access to real logs) but for the time being it is resolved.
