Email Function on GoDaddy Hosting

[jasonlnlv]

I have the site on my GoDaddy Windows based Hosting that supports ASP and is running ASP version 4.0 and have it all working now - except for the email function.

I try to send out emails and updates and I get the green banner that says it updated and sent emails, but no one ever get the emails. No errors at all.

My email.asp file is setup 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") = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... serverport") = 465
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... smtpusessl") = True
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... thenticate") = 1
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... ndusername") = "admin@mydomain.com"
cdoConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... ndpassword") = "my_password"
cdoConfig.Fields.Update
set cdoMessage.Configuration = cdoConfig

The email account and smtp are all GoDaddy servers also.

Is there any thoughts or debug ideas to see why this is not working?

Thanks,

Jason

Here is my email config part that works on godaddy

'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") = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
cdoConfig.Fields.Update
set cdoMessage.Configuration = cdoConfig

Did you have to add any on the authentication settings ?

[6burgh]

No, mine didn't work if I did.

[jasonlnlv]

OK - well I added the same settings and I had a new user signup and I got the email letting me know a new user signed up and their info - but they never got a email to them telling them what the password was. I also updated the news and checked the box to send notifications to users and it said it sent the emails but no one ever got the email - Hmm - any thoughts? the email address being used is on the domain and hosed at godaddy also...

[6burgh]

If you got one I would say it is working, Why it doesn't work right I don't know. I have the same issue but encouraged everyone to sign up early and let me know if they don't receive one to let me know then I reset their password. I had this issue last year on 1and1.com also. about 80 to 90% of the members on my site get emails.

I am not sure if it goes in the spam email or if they truly dont get it. Most of my members are not really computer savy and I end up on centurylinks DSL spam list when they use the same email address for 2 or 3 members. LOL

OK here is an update... I have the code set at this only:

'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") = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
cdoConfig.Fields.Update
set cdoMessage.Configuration = cdoConfig

And I have the config.asp option set to true for the email server option.

Here is the weird thing.. If a new user sings up (I used a test account for this with a Gmail account for this test) the new user got a email with the account info and password AND I as the admin get the email to the admin account that a new user has signed up.

But - When I update the news, Update scores or update point spreads and check the box to send a update to the users, I or no one get the email notifying them of an update.... I would think that the email going out to gmail would allow this - is there something on the other pages not connecting to the email.asp config???

It could be that when a single user signs up that Gmail is fine with that as it is an email being sent to just one person, or two if you include the Admin.

But, if you do it for your entire pool Gmail might think that you are a spammer as you are sending out multiple of the same email to a lot of email accounts.

Just a thought, i have nothing to back that up though.
