Classic ASP using Email and Local Server

Question

Basically, I have created a form with a To, From, Subject and Textbody, all named appropriately. What I need to know is what code I need to use Classic ASP to link to a local port, to test my code and send an email,

I have IIS installed at the moment and some other little programs, but I can't get my head around it.

Answer 1

Sending an email in vbscript is usually done in via CDO - example using gmails SMTP server (note the use of configuration/smtpserverport and configuration/smtpusessl )

Dim ObjSendMail
Set ObjSendMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message") 

ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = 1
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60

ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") ="info@thedomain.com" '#### Gmail Username (usually full email address)
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") ="password" '#### Gmail Password

ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Update

ObjSendMail.To = ""
ObjSendMail.Subject = ""
ObjSendMail.From = ""

ObjSendMail.TextBody = "Hello World"

ObjSendMail.Send
Set ObjSendMail = Nothing
