Sending emails with CDOSYS

  • I get the following error when trying to send an email using CDOSYS

    to a domain outside my local network.

    The server response was: 550 not local host hotmail.com, not a gateway

    anyone know why?

    thx

    rg.

  • This was removed by the editor as SPAM

  • This means that the mail server you are using does not allow forwarding of SMTP mail via a gateway. There are articles on the MS site referring to this subject (cannot remember which offhand). We use Exchange server and this option is switched off for security reasons. I think there was a way round this but it was ugly, cumbersome and could breach security. I changed to use Outlook client and set up the mail service in SQL server.

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

  • thanks, i actually figured it out i needed authentication.:

    EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'Configuration.fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate").Value', '1'

    EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'Configuration.fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver").Value', mail server

    EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'Configuration.fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername").Value', login

    EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'Configuration.fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword").Value', password

  • Has anyone managed to send attachmenst using cdosys.

    Would be interested to know how you did it.

  • There are several threads on this site referring to your query and most seem to be attachments. I used the following snippet to add an attachment

    EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @iMsg, 'AddAttachment',@ret out, @Attachment

    where @Attachment is varchar and @hr,@ret,@iMsg are int

    I used the procedure published elsewhere on this site and cannot claim credit for it but altered it for my use. If you wish to email me I will send you my proc.
