I have 2 applications that are written in VB6 each send email via CDO and GMAIL account. The applications worked perfectly for a couple of years. No changes to Code nor to the account from my side. But today when I tried to send an email I got an SMTP Error code 0x80040217. Then I tried the second application and I got the same error. I can remember that when I created the gmail account I had to enter the settings and select an option that I can't remember now. (Tried to look it in the account settings) but can't find it. Any help will be appreciated.
I found the missing setting that was changed (not by me) it is.
Enable Less Secure Apps. - must be enabled other wise you can't send emails.

I know this is an big open question, but I'm more interested in the email functionality of a helpdesk.
If I were to build an online web application / help desk for my site how does the email monitoring work? How would the application retrieve the emails and create or update a ticket based on the ticket ID in the subject line?
I've never understood this and considering the attempt.
You assign some email addresses to the application, then set up email handling to route messages for that address to the application. This can be something simple like running fetchmail to pull email from the inbox on the email server and piping it to the application. Or you can update your email server to forward messages to the helpdesk server and set up an MTA like postfix to accept the messages and pipe them to the helpdesk application.
There are 100's of open source helpdesk applications, so I would recommend finding one in your language of choice and adding a feature rather than re-implementing this one feature. Handling email properly is very difficult because the specs are detailed and confusing, and you'll get a bunch of email that doesn't follow the specs.
If you just want to understand how it works, try setting up one of the open source applications and running some email through it. Turn on debugging and you can then find and read all of the code. Request Tracker (RT) is one option. rt-mailgate is the program that handles email. The basic instructions for setting up email aliases are covered in the README in step 10.

I'm a researcher and i need to send 5000 mail to ask to the targets of my research to compile a survey. I own a gmail account bought to me by the university. How do i send this mail? I can write easily a simple script that send all the email but i'm afraid that sending so much messages could cause me problems leading to the block of my gmail account. I have not been able to understand what are the limits of a gmail account and how to realize a script able to do this without problem.
It's better to not use Gmail for bulk mailouts for multiple reasons:
500 recipient limit: Gmail has a 500 recipient limit for standard mailouts, and I believe 500 mailouts a day limit.[1]
CAN-SPAM Compliance: Sending unsolicited emails may flag your account for spam, therefore compromising sending future emails from your account .
The easiest and best way to do this is either yourself using an SMTP server or using a service such as aWeber or ListWire etc to mail on your behalf for a nominal fee.
I would recommend doing a service if it's only a one off mailout, see this question for various services.
Looking for bulk and transactional email-sending service
Additionally read up on CAN-SPAM compliance in order to ensure that if this is indeed unsolicited[2]. Your survey might be better off on a landing page explaining:

I've spent almost whole day fixing permission issue on Reporting Server without any success. So would really appreciate any help.
Reporting services were already installed on the pc, but weren't ever used before.
PC is running Win Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
Pc is not in domain.
SQL is 2008.
In Reporting Service Config Manager I setup account to 'Local System' and tried to access http://server/ReportServer (I tried any different accounts)
And here comes my problem.
I keep getting error
The permissions granted to user 'username' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
I'm logged in as admin account. I understand that this is permission issue, but really not sure where can I fix this.
Also user has db_owner + RSExecRole in ReportServer db
I can access http://server/Reports, but don't see site setting link.
Thanks for any suggestion.
OK, I found solution that worked for me. I had to edit RsReportServer.config file
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsNegotiate/>
<RSWindowsNTLM/>
</AuthenticationTypes>
I replaced code above with this
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsBasic/>
</AuthenticationTypes>
Hope it helps someone else.
Looks like your user have the lowest permissions basing on what you said that you can go to http://server/Reports
but do not see this
To further see if you really have permission issues you need to use SSMS to open your reporting server instance like such
If you successfully log in to that instance you should be able to see and manipulate the following roles and what the roles can do
I suggest giving full access to the Browser role and check now if you can get the site settings

I've VPS.
I installed postfix and what is necessary for mail server.
(I've used this as a guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-postfix-on-centos-6 )
then, I configured my DNS as recomended. (this is my configure http://t1308.hizliresim.com/1d/7/r834r.png)
But there's still problem that: my mails are going to the spam directory? why? what should I do?
I've checked banlists and there's no problem about black lists.
Any idea? How can I solve this problem?
To see if your mail server has a glaring problem that would cause other mail servers to think it's a spammer, try sending a message from your mail server to check-auth#verifier.port25.com. This service will do a bunch of checks, and you'll get a report back with ton of information, such whether or not your mail server's DNS is setup correctly, whether your mail server's IP is on any black lists, if you have a problem with your SPF records, etc.
I don't know much about the setup side, but several other factors could cause it to hit spam folders. Try removing one possible cause at a time until the email works.
replace all the content with pure text (no $, !'s or large numbers)
send from a different email address
send to a different email address on a different domain
If any of those fix your problem, you should have it narrowed down to the cause, which will help the rest of us to give more targeted answers. If those things don't make a difference, then it is most likely in your setup.

I'm trying to enable some basic commands via email. Currently I have shared hosting accounts with shell access at dreamhost and site5. I usually use php/drupal, but am open to other options. I found this question, but I'm looking for something more basic: what do I need to configure where to create a hello world app that responds to email? Are there (free) services out there that will make the basic set up easier? I'm pretty open to using any kind of email address, since this is for a personal project at the moment....
For email, it would be pretty easy to setup a cron job that pulls in email via POP3, then loops through and responds to them.
For example, you could do it with a Python script using the poplib (http://docs.python.org/library/poplib.html) library. Then just have cron call your script every 5 minutes.
I have no affiliation with this company, but Twilio (http://www.twilio.com/sms) provides services and a simple API for a lot of this sort of thing. I've never used it, but it looks like the answer to many people's prayers, so well done them.
