Description:

Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) for Microsoft® Windows® (Cdosys.dll), is a Component Object Model (COM) component designed to simplify writing programs that create or manipulate Internet messages. CDOSYS is one in a suite of collaborative COM components referred to collectively as CDO. CDOSYS is an integral part of the Windows series of operating systems.

USING CDOSYS TO SEND MAIL

The Object (CDO.Message) has some simple properties that are essential:

.From - E-mail address of the sender
.To - E-mail address of the recipient
.CC - E-mail address of the CC recipient
.Subject - Subject of the message
.TextBody - Body of the message in plain text
.HTMLBody - Body of the message in HTML
.Send - Calling this method the message is sent

The following is an example of code to send a simple email:
<%
Dim sMsg
Dim sTo
Dim sFrom
Dim sSubject
Dim sTextBody

sTo = "recipient@example.com"
sFrom = "sender@example.com"
sSubject = "Testing CDOSYS delivery"
sTextBody = "This is a test of delivery using CDOSYS"

Dim objMail
'Create the mail object
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

'Create the config object
Set objConfig = objMail.configuration

'Set some configuration options
With objConfig.Fields

.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2

.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "webmailout.abihosting.com"

.Update
End With

'Set key properties
objMail.From = sFrom
objMail.To = sTo
objMail.Subject= sSubject
objMail.TextBody = sTextBody

'Send the email
objMail.Send

'Clean-up objects
Set objMail = Nothing
Set objConfig = Nothing
