Use CDOSYS to send e-mail

CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) is a Microsoft technology designed to simplify the creation of communication programs.

Cdocdosys is a built-in component in ASP. We will show you how to use this component to send e-mail.

How about CDONTS?

Microsoft has eliminated CDONTS in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003. If you also use CDONTS in your application, you need to update the code and use the new CDO technology.

Using an instance of CDOSYS

Send e-mail:

<%set mymail=createobject ("CDO.") Message "] mymail.subject=" sending email with CDO "mymail.from=" mymail@mydomain.com "mymail.to=" Someone@somedomain.com "mymail.textbody=" is a message. Mymail.sendset mymail=nothing%>

Use the BCC and CC fields to send text messages:

<%set mymail=createobject ("CDO.") Message "] mymail.subject=" sending email with CDO "mymail.from=" mymail@mydomain.com "mymail.to=" Someone@somedomain.com "mymail.bcc=" someoneelse@somedomain.com "mymail.cc=" someoneelse2@somedomain.com " Mymail.textbody= "This is a message." Mymail.sendset mymail=nothing%>

To send an HTML message:
