SYMPTOMS

When you send an e-mail message by using Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects for Microsoft Windows NT Server (CDONTS), the e-mail message may appear in the Badmail folder. In the e-mail message, the addresses in the From box may be missing. Additionally, the e-mail message may be combined with other e-mail messages.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because a NewMail object in the CDONTS code is not set to the Nothing value after the NewMail object is used.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, set each NewMail object to the Nothing value as soon as you finish using that NewMail object. The following Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) code example shows how to create and send an e-mail message by using CDONTS.
	dim myCDONTSMail
	Set myCDONTSMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
	myCDONTSMail.MailFormat = 0
	myCDONTSMail.To = "to@to.com"
	myCDONTSMail.Subject = "Subject section"
	myCDONTSMail.Body = "Body section"
	myCDONTSMail.From = "from@from.com"
	myCDONTSMail.Send
	Set myCDONTSMail  = Nothing
