SBS 2003 and CDOSYS or CDOEX?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am using MS Small Business Server 2003 with Exchange and SQL- PRoblems with the email using CDOSYS.  CDOSYS is not a registered dll because the server uses CDOEX by default. I have unregistered CDOEX and registered CDOSYS but still no email flowing-  Does anyone have any sample code that use CDOEX or another method for me to get the email to work?

	After getting CDOSYS registered. Did you change the SalesCart syntax to work with CDOSYS?

	That was the First thing I did. I downloaded the file and changed the CDONT to CDOSYS and added lines for authentication aginst the Exchange Server. The mail server is properly regeisered in local and of course outside DNS.

	Interesting. I've not had to deal with exchange server and a web application so I can't say why it won't send. I'm assuming the server has IIS installed and running? If so, does it have the SMTP services enabled and running? It's not just the CDOSYS object, the SMTP services would also have to be installed.

	This server also has Exchange running so is HAS to have SMTP or it would not work. Ever work with CDOEX? - The dll is for working with Exchange servers and should be used on the same server as the MS Exchange server.

	I undestand the server 'has' to have SMTP but IIS has it's own little SMTP agent that runs. That is what CDOSYS uses. CDOEX uses the exchange SMTP but CDOSYS uses the IIS SMTP. Two different things. I have not worked with CDOEX so I can't help you there.

	Will- Fixed my problem- When calling cdo functions on a server with Exchange 2003 installed the default is to use CDOEX.dll- This is normal and Ok and no change is code are required. The problem probably was that the I tried using mail.domain.com (my DNS name for mail) but changing to servername.domain.com seems to work.. I also scripted permissions for the iuser_servername and iwam_servername permisions to the IIS Meta database to give them authority to use SMTP. I am not sure this part helped. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=816789 for explanations of how to do this including scripts- Note: if you use The MetaData tool it is differnet for IIS 6 than IIS 5. I also set the default SMTP configuration in Exchange to the IP address of my server (the default is any unassigned ip address) I also set a username and password for an account to authenticate to use the SMTP. By default Exchange SMTP allows any authenticated user to SMTP to an outside address. Be careful about changing any settings that might allow Mail Relay. Tom
