Hello
We use our site (quincyadulted.com) for registering adult education learners. We allow the registration portion (salescart) three times a year while registrations are going on and only allow browsing the courses during the rest of the year.
My problem: the email confirmation (sent to the customer) and the notification (sent to the school) have stopped working. No error message, just no email. It was working fine the last time we brought the site down and I have made no modifications to anything except the lobby.asp page. I have checked with the ISP and they are running both CDONTS and CDOSYS on the server, and the server is not Windows 2003 (Windows 2000). I checked the wizard to make sure that email was enabled - it is. I also checked the global.asa file and see the two email addresses which the notification emails are to be sent...
I am stumped. Any suggestions would be appreicated.

Hi Patricia, take a look at receipt2.asp (in the code) see if you have the following lines:
<!--#include file="sendemail.asp"-->
<!--#include file="merc-conf.asp"-->
If you do, then let us know. Usually if the emails aren't going out, it is because the server is stopping them. But that is the worst case scenario...

This is all I have in the beginning - the merc-conf is there, but not the sendmail
<!--#include file="codepage.asp"-->
<!--#include file="ADOVBS.inc"-->
<!--#include file="IASUtil.asp"-->
<!--#include file="merc-conf.asp"-->
should I add it? does the order matter?

Sendemail.asp will send the email to the customer. Unless if you have an old version of SalesCart, which has a separate page for that function.

I made the change, uploaded the page and this is the error message I get after I click for an email receipt
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0141'
Page Command Repeated
/cgi-bin/sendemail.asp, line 1
The @ command can only be used once within the Active Server Page.
this is a copy of line 1, sendmail.asp
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBScript.Encode" %>

Right but if you look at my previous reply I didn't ask you to do this. If you have SalesCart PRO 3 or below, then this isn't the right way. At any rates, <%@ LANGUAGE="VBScript.Encode" %> is repeated twice on receipt2.asp and sendemail.asp, that's why the error is coming up.

PS. I sent you an email with a script to test out the email server without SalesCart. Let's see if that works first.

okay...I removed
<!--#include file="sendemail.asp"-->
from reciept2.asp and saved the file to the server
I uploaded the cdonts-test.asp to the server into the cg-bin folder and opened the file in my browser. It appears that the application went through...did you get the email?

I haven't received the email yet. How long ago was that? Sometimes it takes about 10-15 minutes before it comes through but if it takes longer, then we know the server is stopping the emails.

about 5 minutes ago...I went it and edited it, added my own email addresses and saved it to a different name and tested it again. So we should both get emails.

so far...nothing. I am guessing that the emails aren't getting through. Does this mean I there is something that the ISP has set/not set to allow emails to be forwarded? They are running CDONTS and CDOSYS.

Probably. The other thing you can do is try the CDOSYS version. http://support.salescart.com/kb/KB-details.asp?key=5316 - http://support.salescart.com/kb/KB-details.asp?key=5316 Sometimes the web host require the scripts to authenticate an actual user and for this you need CDOSyS. It might be worth a try.

I updated all files except 3_sendmail.asp, customer_login.asp and affiliate_login.asp - those three files I do not have.
Now when I run it, I get to through confirm2.asp and when I click on confirm the order, it fails on receipt2.asp. here is the error message:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'objMail.SetAuthUser'
?, line 0
any thoughts?

You might want to comment out the line that has 'objMail.SetAuthUser'.

You may want to download the zip file that includes CMail.asp from the knowledge article again. Be sure and overwrite your existing version of this file located in the cgi-bin folder.

I ended up having to comment out both the set.auth.user and pw lines to get anything to work. I also downloaded a copy of cmail and overwrote the existing file. Still no email.
?????
I also reran the cdonts-test and nothing....
any other thoughts?

I've just asked the hosting company to take a look at it from their end and see what's going on. Can't hurt...

After much (much) back and forth, the general consensus at my ISP is that I need to go back to using CDONTS instead of CDOSYS. What do I do to go back to CDONTS?
