Send emailprints it to a designated printer. A specific person then collects the prints from the printer and processes the info contained thereon. This all happens within an organisation and no external communication is required whatsoever. This works quite well, but now I have been asked to have the application send an email to the nominated person, informing them that there is a document on the printer to collect. Well... it all went south from there. This is what I have done. Sub MailUser() Dim obj As System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail Dim mail As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage() With Mail .To = "nominated.per***@myaddress.com" .From="***@youraddress.com" .BodyFormat=MailFormat.Text .Subject="Subject goes here" .Body="This is the body of the mail" End With obj.SmtpServer="myserver" obj.Send(Mail) End Sub No go - it was generating a CDO message error, looking a little deeper, the inner exception is "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040213): The transport failed to connect to the server." I thought it may have been an smtp problem, perhaps I had the syntax of the server wrong? I have tried every potentially viable variant that I can think of, such as the IP, the UNC path, the smtp name, the server name etc. Same result with all. We are using Exchange 2003 and this mail is purely for a LAN application, no attachments, no fancy formatting, just a small text mail, easy - or so I thought. Any thoughts appreciated. We have VS .Net 2002 with .NET 1.0 SP3 Regards - Peter Peter,
In 80% of the situations is this an SMTP mail server problem. You can use any SMTP mail server that has access to the outer world an can be used by the program. In fact is that mostly any SMTP mail server on earth as long as it is as the sentence above. It has not to be yours although as you do it to much the admin from that server will probably put you in his firewall. I hope this helps a little bit.

that certainly confirms the train of thought that I had and I am sure that your opinion on the matter is worth considerably more than mine. I will keep trying different things, until I can find something to make a difference - even a different error would be helpful at this stage. -- Show quoteHide quoteRegards - Peter "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" wrote: > Peter, > > In 80% of the situations is this an SMTP mail server problem. > > You can use any SMTP mail server that has access to the outer world an can > be used by the program. > > In fact is that mostly any SMTP mail server on earth as long as it is as the > sentence above.

Your thought was the same as me, however he has a new link. But on both is a link that goes visa versa. 1.x and 2.0 :-) Cor"Cor Ligthert [MVP]" <notmyfirstn***@planet.nl> schrieb: The right URL seems to be <URL:http://www.systemwebmail.com/> ;-).>>> http://www.systemnetmail.com/ >> >> You mean <URL:http://www.systemwebmail.net/>, didn't you? >> > Your thought was the same as me, however he has a new link.

You are right, accoording to the question from Peter I had better given
direct systemwebmail (that link direct in systemnetmail in the header goes however to systemwebmail and not as is showed system.web.mail) Cor Peter wrote:
<snip not connecting to smtp server> > Any thoughts appreciated. A frequent recommendation for trouble-shooting that problem is to use telnet to connect to the smtp server:- http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html Andrew I ran into a similar problem using vbscript. I ended up adding the SMTP
service to the OS where the script runs and left out pointing to a different server. That worked for me in vbscript. Also, not sure if this pertains, but the exchange server may not have forwarding turned on. RK.
