I'm not an expert on the programmatic interaction, but here is what I can tell you. It's pretty easy to write a script that will send an email. These links have some examples:

for CDONTS: (NT/2000 only i think) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/cdo/_denali_folder_object_cdonts_libr ary_.htm

for jmail: (you have to install this dll) http://www.15seconds.com/component/pg002042.htm

Usually, I just write a script or small VB app and it works. If I use my local machine for jmail, I might put "smtpout.verizon.net" to send it. For example:

Set objEmail = CreateObject("Jmail.Message")

objEmail.From = "Yor EMail Address" objEmail.AddRecipient ("The Recipients Address") objEmail.Subject = "The Subject"

If Not objEmail.Send("smtpout.verizon.net") Then 'your smtp goes here MsgBox "Failed" Else MsgBox "Success" End If

Set objEmail = Nothing

That should do it...or something close. For IMail, we used "web1-2450.gxs.org" in the smtp spot (one of our host accounts). Usually that works, but not lately for some reason. Strange because I can send from that account through IMail Client. Hope this helps.

Shane,

I am trying to figure out how to programmatically interact with iMail. Their tech support said they couldn't help me and that I should check the forums. I saw your note, so I hope you don't mind me asking you.

Could you point me to any resources that might give me some info on doing this type of programming?

Thanks, Bob

Imail version 6.04

We're having problems sending emails through script code. The code worked fine in the past, but people were using our servers to spam, so we changed to the "No Relay" setting. Now, we can't use script to send messages and none of our ASP pages will send emails. We swapped back to "Relay for all", but it didn't help. Not sure if this has anything to do with relay or not. We are using "jmail" and "CDONTS" to send email via script. I tried the scripts on my local machine, which does not use IMail and they worked fine. I uploaded them to our server and they don't work. But, I can send email through the IMail client interface. Any ideas why the script email method has stopped working all of a sudden? Any help would be much appreciated.
