Does the email function work?

Does the email function work and if it does how do you turn it on?

Yes it works. You need to set the following option in config.asp:

const SERVER_EMAIL_ENABLED = true

Then you need to modify email.asp to whatever works with your email server. That is under the 'Configure the message. section of email.asp.

Any recommendations for a free email server?

Do you have a gmail account? I set mine up this way:

'Configure the message.
set cdoMessage = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
set cdoConfig = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... /sendusing") = 2
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
cdoConfig.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... smtpusessl") = True
cdoConfig.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
cdoConfig.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... serverport") = 465
cdoConfig.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... thenticate") = 1
cdoConfig.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... ndusername") = "user@gmail.com"
cdoConfig.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... ndpassword") = "password"
cdoConfig.Fields.Update
set cdoMessage.Configuration = cdoConfig

Seems my email function has quit working, anyone else having problems?

[Stutgrtguy]

anyone else had this quit working? I have the same script as above, last year worked great, this year...notta....

[Stutgrtguy]

nevermind I finally figured it out, since I had changed my password google had asked me if I wanted to enhance my security and I clicked yes, and since my server is on the east coast and i in the midwest it kept blocking the sign in attempts, thinking it was a hack attempt. Cant remember where I found the setting to change it as I was exasperated at the time, but if anyone else has this issue, look there first

I've attempted to get this code to work but it keeps saying it cannot connect to the email server... I'm trying the gmail route and have checked username/password, gmail settings for POP/IMAP are enabled, what else? Is there a different port to try other than 465? Thanks!

Exact error (on sign up page): 'The transport failed to connect to the server.'

Update: Used the regular email associated with my server and the following code (needed to use authentication).
'Configure the message.
set cdoMessage = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
set cdoConfig = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... /sendusing") = 2
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... smtpserver") = "localhost"
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... serverport") = 25
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... smtpusessl") = false
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... thenticate") = 1
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... ndusername") ="email@yoursite.com"
