Brinkster SMTP Email
Reply Contact
I have my site hosting on Brinkster "free Developer" account. Does not support pop/imap. Cant find anything about SMTP though. I also have everything on Jabry.com free hosting as a backup. Dont see anything about email support there.
I want to use Robs forgot password email coding, but I am getting "The transport failed to connect to the server" Im assuming this is the email issue.
I did find on their coding database, someone developed the below coding, do you think it could help, and where would I put it? Or would the godaddy coding also help me out?
<%
Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
Mail.Host = ("valid SMTP server") // Specify a valid SMTP server
Mail.Password = ("valid password") // Specify a valid password
Mail.From = ("sender's address") // Specify sender's email address
Mail.FromName = ("sender's name") // Specify sender's name
Mail.AddAddress "your email address" // Specify your email address
Mail.AddCC ("email address for CC") // Specify sender's email address for carbon copy of email (optional)
Mail.AddBCC ("email address for BCC") // Specify email address for blind carbon copy of email (optional)
Mail.Subject = ("email subject") // Specify email subject line
Mail.Body = ("email body") // Specify email content
On Error Resume Next
Mail.Send
If Err <> 0 Then
Response.Write "Error encountered: " & Err.Description
End If

Jarby doesn't support sending email (few free hosts do). I found some code on Brinkster's site (https://help.brinkster.com/KB/a8/how-do ... h-asp.aspx) which looks similar to that and came up with this:
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Sends an email and returns an empty string if successful. Otherwise, it
' returns the error message.
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------
function SendMail(toAddr, subjectText, bodyText)
dim objEmail
set objEmail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
objEmail.Username = "you@domain.com"
objEmail.Password = "password"
objEmail.Host = "mymail.brinkster.com"
objEmail.From = "you@domain.com"
objEmail.AddAddress toAddr
objEmail.Subject = subjectText
objEmail.Body = bodyText
on error resume next
objEmail.Send
if Err.Number <> 0 then
SendMail = Err.Description
end if
set objEmail = Nothing
end function
Replace the existing SendMail function in your includes/email.asp file and give it a try. Be sure to replace you@domain.com and password with your Brinkster account email and password.

You can tweak Mike's original email code the (CDO Mail code) to support ssl, which is required by gmail's smtp.
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/config ... smtpusessl") = True
I forget the exact like of code needed, but I did provide it in another post.

Ok so I took a combination of Mike's Go Daddy code and shotrock's addition and created this code which works with the free brinkster account. allowing it to use my gmail email instead. should work with many different mail companies, as long as you know whether they are SSL, what their port is and what their SMTP server address is. This might work on other free hosting companies as well.
