Using James with IIS

[MJ Kahn <mj...@yahoo.com>]

I've installed James on Windows 2000, set up a user,
and can use Outlook Express to send and receive email.

I have IIS (web service, not SMTP service) running on
the same machine. I have an ASP page that creates a
CDONTS.NewMail object and attempts to send a message
using it. I get no errors in the browser, the Win2K
Event Log, the IIS log, or James's logs when I load
that page, but the message doesn't get sent. 

The date stamp of James's Outgoing directory doesn't
change when I load that ASP page. Does that mean that
the CDONTS object isn't talking to James at all? 

I'm new to James, and to email servers in general. Any
suggestions for resources that might help?

Thanks,

MJ.

CDO is normally meant for use with Exchange (Collaborative Data Objects) and
includes things for calandering etc as well as mail.
It (CDO) was also a complete mess last time I used it. Now we just use raw
port connections and talk SMTP directly to the server.
This is fine as we only send text based emails in this instance.
It might talk to a plain SMTP server (James), but you will be better served
by using components that talk pure SMTP.

MJ,

This is really a question for MIcrosoft help site.  My favorite was 
always 15seconds.com.  JAMES is an SMTP server, so pretty most current 
components should work.

Maybe it was CDO or some other MS hack technology that would use your 
windows profile to send messages... so it was effectively sending it 
through your email client on your server.  There should be newer 
components though (if that is the case with CDO) that do talk SMTP.
