CDO.Message

01-25-2005

I am using CDO.Message object with code below. When I execute the .Send
command, I get the following error.

Error: -2147220973
Description: The transport failed to connect to the server.

Note: The SMTP Server and the IIS Server are the same machine.

Anyone come across this error message in the past? This error also occurs
when I use Method #1 where I use the schema reference provided by Microsoft.

Here is the code:



<%
'METHOD #2
Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

With cdoConfig.Fields
.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "10.60.19.24"
.Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = "25"
.Update
End With

Set cdoMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

With cdoMessage
Set .Configuration = cdoConfig
.From = ""
.To = ""
.Subject = "Sample CDO Message"
.TextBody = "This is a test for CDO.message"
.Send
End With

Set cdoMessage = Nothing
Set cdoConfig = Nothing

This is a Server Not Found error. CDOSYS is not recognizing the
server name as supplied.

Also, using the cdoSendUsingPort method, you may have to provide
authentication credentials - unless you're running an open relay mail
server - (please say you're not...)

If they are on the same machine, you should probably skip the
cdoSendUsingPort and use the drop directory instead.

> .Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "10.60.19.24"
> .Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = "25"

I'm don't believe this is the correct connection string for the
SMTPServer name and see above note. Also make sure you're SMTP server
is using port 25. (It IS the default.)

Try the NetBios computer name instead of the ip address.
With NO slashes - i.e.

ComputerServer1

It should work.

FWIW,

Nix that first statement - I'm a moron today...

An IP address is allowable, but you probably will have to provide an
authenticated machine user account and password - like this:

With mobjFlds
.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 60
.Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoBasic
.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "ComputerServer1" OR "192.168.0.1"
.Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 25
.Item(cdoSendUserName) = "someuser"
.Item(cdoSendPassword) = "somepassword"
.Update <----
End With

I'm a double idiot today...

The port number should be a number, not a string.

25, not "25"

What can I say, it's a left-over nym, I'm too lazy to change it. :-\

I've got a VBA, an InterDev, a newsreader, a MMC console to a local
server, and a TV window open...
It's amazing I can keep *any* thoughts marshalled... Wanker.
