Problem with CDOSYS (email)

Dec 14th, 2007

Hi,

I have the following code:

 Help with Code Tags 
 ASP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<%
Dim myMail
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="Information from website"
myMail.From="mymail@hotmail.com"
myMail.To="someone@hotmail.com"
myMail.TextBody="This is the information I want to email"
myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing
%>
<%
Dim myMail
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="Information from website"
myMail.From="mymail@hotmail.com"
myMail.To="someone@hotmail.com"
myMail.TextBody="This is the information I want to email"
myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing
%>

When I use the above code I do not get an email sent to me.

Any ideas?

pG

Hi,
I don't get an error but found out what the problem is.

It is the hosting company. I had to use an email address for the 'From' that included my domain.
i.e domain: www.purplegerbil.co.uk email: noreply@purplegerbil.co.uk.
