ASP FormMail, Part IV

Here's my last post:

ASP FormMail, Part III

I'm back working on an
ASP FormMail Program.

Last episode, I said
I would try CDOSYS as
my mail component.

OK. I'll try CDOSYS
next. I'm going to
change this line from
this:

mailComp   = "JMail"

to this:

mailComp   = "CDOSYS"

All I'm doing is changing
the mail component.

OK. New error message:

Form could not be processed 
due to the following errors:
Email send failed: The server 
rejected one or more recipient 
addresses. The server response 
was: 550  No such user here .

Wow! This blows me away.

You mean you can only send emails
to recipients who have accounts
on the web hosting company email
server?

I guess that's what it means.

That makes it difficult for me
as now I have to go into the
server and set up my own email
account.

That's my understanding.

Wow! What a pain.

At this point, I may abandon
this job.

I'm just not very good with
Microsoft products. I seem
to have very little talent
or inclination to work with
Microsoft software.

Maybe I should leave this
kind of work to others.

Update: In re-reading
this post a day or two later,
I find I'm way premature in
my conclusions.

Turns out that being able to
send email outside the domain
hosted by your hosting company,
without taking extra steps,is
not all that common.

I've had the wrong idea on this
all along.

You'll see this if you continue
to read my posts.


I continue my investigation into
ASP FormMail here:
