Well, I am in the homestretch of the new SSCC site. It is clean. It is simple. I like it.
Anyways, today I had planned to make the contact and sign-up pages. This is easy. I started at 11 and I am just now finishing up (3:30). As it turns out, my host makes sending mail VERY hard because of spam restrictions. I can’t use port 25, can’t use ANY mail script that does not validate the server, and PHP’s mail() is a big no no. I spent the better half of the last few hours looking for an ASP script that fits my needs and makes my server happy.
In case you are ever in this situation, I wanted to share my day’s work with you to save you time. It validates and it works great. Enjoy!

i hear there is possible to exploit gmails smtp for scripts as this. did you try that first? it could have conserved your time :-{)
Nick
yeah, I looked into that but Gmail makes you validate as well and it only works if sending to a gmail account. I couldn’t even connect to the server. If I would have started from scratch it wouldn’t have taken me that long, I wasted time trying to build on someone elses stuff and I it lost me.

I’m not sure how this script validates, at least I don’t see it. The only info it gives the server is the hostname and account email, no password. Is it still working with Brinkster?
Nick
@Darren – It doesn’t need a password, my server allows JMail scripts to run without fully validating with a password. Maybe I shouldn’t say “validates” because it doesn’t validate the info in the form, I’m talking about authentication. If you need to use it with password authentication, add this after the remote.Host line:
oMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
(“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername”) = “YOUR-USERNAME”
oMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
(“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword”) = “YOUR-PASSWORD”
It should work.
