CFMAIL -- CDO/CDONTS problems
I have a CF shared hosting provider who is recommending switching to CDO/CDONTS from CFMAIL for sending e-mail. I've successfully created modifcations for a few sites there to accomplish this. Now I'm trying to implement this locally for development purposes and I'm realizing I'm totally lost so I'm asking if anyone has any suggestions or pointers to tutorials about this that might resolve the problems I'm having (basically mail doesn't get sent from my development machines, it just ends up and stays in the IIS mailroot\queue directory.) I've got 2 development platforms, both connecting to the Internet via ADSL connection and I'm able to send mail via this connection with a mail client through my ISP's mail servers no problem; in fact I'm doing that right now. I'm also able to set up CFMAIL in the CF Administrator to use CFMAIL no problem. My 2 platforms are as follows and I'd welcome solutions pertaining to either of them: W2K Pro running CF5 and IIS5 single mode (or whatever it's referred to). W2003 Server Webserver Edition running CFMX6.1 and IIS6. When trying to use CDONTS on either of these machines, mail ends up in the QUEUE directory but just stays there and is never sent out. With CF5 I can specify my mail server as mail.bellsouth.net (SMTP server I use with a regular mail client) and with CFMX I can specify this server and, additionally, specify the proper user/password credentials required by Bellsouth to send mail via its mail servers. I don't see how to accomplish this via CDO/CDONTS and the IIS SMTP service and I'm not even sure this is looking in the correct direction. This one's had me scratching my head for a few days now so any suggestions would be extemely welcome. Sorry if this is a newbie question but I've been trying to find a solution in many places and so far have struck out.

RE: REPOST: Re: CDONTS and ReplyTo
i don't know if that's entirely correct. is ASP more efficient at creating/manipulating objects than CF? that's all the calls do, at the base level. In general, it's certainly easier to work with COM interfaces in ASP compared to CF, with all the clunkiness in CFOBJECT. i agree. asp is designed as a COM wrapper. however, i wasn't asking ease of coding. i was asking efficiency of the scripting engine in regards to instantiating/manipulating objects. i'd lean toward ASP being more effient in that regard, as well (after all, it was designed to do that). i was just asking if anyone had empirical evidence. Well, I don't know if you can really pry the two apart entirely. I don't think that CF necessarily marshals objects any worse than ASP does, once those objects have been instantiated, although the fact that one of the features of CF 5 was better handling of COM object threading issues gives me pause. However, if in the process of navigating an object hierarchy I have to create two references instead of just one, I'd guess that this is less efficient. If I can't take advantage of all that MTS/COM+ provides to ASP (such as the ability to mark an ASP script as transactional for MTS purposes), that's probably less efficient. If I can only work with variant datatypes because of CF's lazy typing, that's probably less efficient too.

REPOST: Re: CDONTS and ReplyTo
Actually, why don't you just use an ASP page to send your mail via CDONTS rather than going thru the CF Server? It should be more efficient since CDONTS is intrinsic to IIS. My 2 cents. Your page would then be similar to this: '-Send Email dim objMail Set objMail = Server.CreateObject(CDONTS.NewMail) If err.number0 then% bError Occured: /bBR Error Number=%=err.number%br Error Descr%=err.description%br Help Context=%=err.helpcontext%br Help Path=%=err.helppath%br Native Error=%=err.nativeerror%br Source=%=err.source%brP % Else objMail.BodyFormat = 0 objMail.MailFormat = 0 objMail.From = strEmail objMail.To = strToEmail objMail.Subject = Contact Form from strName objMail.Body = strContents objMail.Send Set objMail = Nothing End If % - Original Message - From: Dave Jones To: CF-Talk Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 11:29 AM Subject: CDONTS and ReplyTo Can someone tell me how to set the Reply-To header when using CDONTS in ColdFusion?

Re: CDONTS and ReplyTo header
Dave, My apologies for misinterpreting your original request. The following information from the MSDN Library should be of help: One common header, Reply-To, is used to allow the To field to be auto populated when the user clicks Reply.

Re: CDONTS and ReplyTo header
Dina, Thanks again for the response. As I mentioned in my original email, the objMsg.Value(Reply-To)=strReplyTo format is one of the solutions I've tried, as in: cfset objNewMail.Value(Reply-To) = [EMAIL PROTECTED] CF kicks back an error msg saying the left side of the equation cannot be a function call (which of course makes sense). Is there another way of doing this in CF or do I have to learn ASP to set a header in CDONTS?

The following information from the MSDN Library should be of help: One common header, Reply-To, is used to allow the To field to be auto populated when the user clicks Reply. The following code snippet illustrates populating the To field: objMsg.Value(Reply-To)=strReplyTo Here's an example that illustrates advanced CDO features like the ability to copy, blind-copy, use a reply-to address, send file attachments, set the message format type, and specify the encoding method. As you can see, a form was used to collect the required information: % Dim objMsg, strFrom, strTo, strCc, strBcc, strReplyTo, strBody, _ strSubject, strFileName Dim lngImportance, lngMsgFormat, lngMsgEncode, lngAttEncode strFrom = Trim(Request.Form(txtFrom)) strTo = Trim(Request.Form(txtTo)) strCc = Trim(Request.Form(txtCc)) strBcc = Trim(Request.Form(txtBcc)) strReplyTo = Trim(Request.Form(txtReplyTo)) strSubject = Trim(Request.Form(txtSubject)) strBody = Trim(Request.Form(txtMessage)) lngImportance = Trim(Request(optImportance)) lngMsgFormat = Trim(Request(optMsgType)) lngMsgEncode = Trim(Request(optMsgEncode)) lngAttEncode = Trim(Request(optAttEncode)) strFileName = Trim(Request.Form(txtattfile)) Set objMsg = Server.CreateObject(CDONTS.NewMail) If Len(Trim(strReplyTo)) 0 Then objMsg.Value(Reply-To)=strReplyTo End If objMsg.From = strFrom objMsg.To = strTo objMsg.Cc = strCc ObjMsg.Bcc = strBcc objMsg.Subject = strSubject objMsg.Importance = lngImportance objMsg.BodyFormat = lngMsgFormat objMsg.MailFormat = lngMsgEncode objMsg.Body = strBody If Len(Trim(strFileName)) 0 Then objMsg.AttachFile strFileName, , lngAttEncode End If objMsg.Send Set objMsg = Nothing % HTH, Dina - Original Message - From: Dave Jones To: CF-Talk Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 1:01 PM Subject: Re: CDONTS and ReplyTo header Try cfset objNewMail.To = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dina, Thanks for the reply, but I believe this sets the To: address of the email (i.e. the address to which the email is sent).

CDONTS and ReplyTo

CDONTS Exception?
I run a wrapper script that uses CDONTS to send mail. Occasionally I'll get an error like this. It's very vague and doesn't give me much to go on. It looks like CDONTS is throwing an exception. Error Diagnostic Information unknown exception condition unknown error while executing a tag.

I'm wondering if this could be caused from user error (bad email address formatting), bad CFML code to use the COM object, or just CDONTS weirdness. Could be neither, I realize. Just trying to pin down some possibility.

RE: CDONTS
I did some lower impact load testing with CDONTS. It didn't seem to have a problem at all. I was sending 1000 letter bursts and it didn't overcome the processor or leak memory.

RE: CDONTS
I started using CDONTS to conflict the fixed this version, broken this version legacy of CFMail. CFMail caused our servers to crash and mail data to be lost. So far, CDONTS working out very well. If you're not having big issues with cfmail, perhaps you should stick with it. I do like the functionality of the tag and tried my best to emulate it with a CDONTS custom tag. It's probably not the best bulk-mailing solution (from what I've heard). Pay this concern as you consider expected mail volumes. Here's a good site explaining the ins and outs of CDONTS. http://www.cdolive.com And here's a great ColdFusion/COM site. http://www.cfcomet.com Between the two, you should find some good data that may help you to decide.

CDONTS on NT Workstation
I have PWS installed on NT4 workstation. I'm trying to test out a tag that uses CDONTS. I've registered cdo.dll and made sure that mapi32.dll was also on the machine (I'm using Outlook 97).

If all you need is SMTP, there are plenty of third-party SMTP servers available for NT Workstation. I've use Post.Office 3.x for this before; it provides SMTP and up to 10 POP mailboxes for free: http://www.openwave.com/products/legacy/post_office/ There are lots of other ones, I'm sure, as well.
