MORE INFORMATION

This article assumes that you have:

Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003

To use the sample code, follow these steps:

Create a folder under \Inetpub\wwwroot named Sendmailsample.
Open Notepad.

Paste the following code.

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% submit = Request.Form.Item("B1") 

if submit = "Send" 

then 

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

Dim iConf Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") 

Dim Flds Set Flds = iConf.Fields 

' 3 means that you are asking mail to be sent using Exchange Server. 

'TODO: Change the "user" and "password" values to match your environment 

Flds( "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 3 

Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/user") = "Username" 

Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/password") = "Password" 

Set iMsg.Configuration = iConf 

iMsg.To = Request.Form.Item("Text1") 

iMsg.From = "administrator@domain.com" 

iMsg.Subject = Request.Form.Item("Text3") 

iMsg.TextBody = Request.Form.Item("TextArea1") 

iMsg.Send
