Below is an already working code in classic ASP to send an email. Can we implement SMTP authentication to this code?
I have implemented using CDO, but would like to know if we can implement SMTP authentication for CDONTS. Please see my code below:
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCDO.to = "testrecipient#domain.com"
objCDO.From = "testsender#domain.com" 'CustEmail
objCDO.Subject = "Test Subject"
objCDO.BodyFormat = 0
objCDO.MailFormat = 0
objCDO.Body = "This is a test message"
objCDO.Importance = 0 'High importance!
objCDO.Send 'Send off the email!
'Cleanup
Set objCDO = Nothing
ReplySent="Email sent!"
Response.write(ReplySent)
Response.End

I'm trying to send email using Classic ASP from my website at Godaddy. Unfortunately, the cod I have from 10-15 years ago doesn't work (imagine that! lol). Here's the code. Can someone tell me what has changed since then? desperately await your reply. Thank you!
Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
With cdoConfig.Fields
.Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 10
.Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = false
.Item(cdoSendUserName) = "email#mywebsite.com"
.Item(cdoSendPassword) = "MyPassword"
.Item(cdoURLProxyServer) = "server:25"
'.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPickup
.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
.Item(cdoURLGetLatestVersion) = True
.Update
End With
'Create mail object
Set cdoMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
'Apply the settings to the message object then send the email
With cdoMessage
Set .Configuration = cdoConfig
.From = "Support (email#mywebsite)"
.To = "The User (user#email.com)"
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is a test email."
.TextBody = "This is a test email. If it were a real email there would be some blah blah blah here! This concludes the test of the Godaddy email message."
.Send
End With
'Cleanup mail objects
Set cdoMessage = Nothing
Set cdoConfig = Nothing
Ok folks. This is for the people that need a guiding hand from time to time. However, make sure you enter the right username and password. When hosting on Godaddy you could have up to three different usernames and passwords. You have your Godaddy account username and password (that's not it!), you have a username and password for Plesk (that's not it either!). Then you have a username and password for your primary website (that's the one you want!). Even though you might have several different websites under your hosting, only one will be the primary. Mine was for the email and password that are associated with that prime website. Once you get this code posted you should be good to go. However, you might have to wait a while in order for it to start working. For me it took about 8 hours for the DNS to catch hold of what I was doing and start sending my emails through. Once it did though, now it works great! Enjoy!

I’m using python to send emails using Mailgun’s SMTP server. I wish to use Mailgun’s builtin ability to tag my messages, and to track open and click events.
I know this can be done using Mailgun’s send message API, by adding headers like o:tag, o:tracking, o:tracking-clicks and o:tracking-opens (as explained here: https://documentation.mailgun.com/en/latest/api-sending.html#sending)
However, seeing as I'm the SMTP gateway and not the API, I’m trying to understand how to achieve the same result - emails that are tagged and fully tracked in Mailgun.
Any thoughts on how it can be done?
This is my little script at the moment:
message = MIMEMultipart("alternative")
message["Subject"] = "This is an email"
message["From"] = “<from email>”
message["To"] = “<to email>”
htmlpart = MIMEText("<html><body>email here!</body></html>", "html")
message.attach(htmlpart)
server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(“<smtp server>”, 465)
server.ehlo()
server.login(“<username>”, “<password>”)
server.sendmail(from_addr=“<from email>”, to_addrs=“<to email>”, msg=message.as_string())
server.close()
Found it!
The following X-Mailgun headers can be added:
https://documentation.mailgun.com/en/latest/user_manual.html#sending-via-smtp
So my script would be:
message = MIMEMultipart("alternative")
message["Subject"] = "This is an email"
message["From"] = “<from email>”
message["To"] = “<to email>”
message["X-Mailgun-Tag"] = "<tag>"
message["X-Mailgun-Track"] = "yes"
message["X-Mailgun-Track-Clicks"] = "yes"
message["X-Mailgun-Track-Opens"] = "yes"
htmlpart = MIMEText("<html><body>email here!</body></html>", "html")
message.attach(htmlpart)
server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(“<smtp server>”, 465)
server.ehlo()
server.login(“<username>”, “<password>”)
server.sendmail(from_addr=“<from email>”, to_addrs=“<to email>”, msg=message.as_string())
server.close()
Now my email is tagged (can be analysed on a tag level in Mailgun), and clicks are tracked.
Happy days!
I am not able to send mail via smtp.gmail.com for ONLY one specific Google account. When I use another Google account my VBS script sends mail successfully so I know the script is working correctly.
Both accounts have the Less Secure Apps turned ON.
I have also tried the Display Unlock Captcha multiple times.
POP and IMAP has been enabled for both accounts.
It looks like there is an issue with that particular account and I have already posted a request for support in the Gmail help forums.

I am searching for days to find out how can I set Office365 SMTP server in my VB6 application. My code is working properly with port 465 and other mail servers.
BUT it is not working with port 587 and smtp.office365.com
Is there any way I could have TLS via 587 in VB6?
Thanks
With this code, I get to send mail using CDO to Office365.

This code worked for me until a few days ago when we switched ISP's (or maybe something changed coincidentally on the server side). If I specify port 587, I get a transport error and have not found the solution for that with VBA. Please let me know if this works for you and if you find a way to use 587. (Port 25 doesn't work for me either, same error.)
Public Function SMTPSend(vSendTo, vsubject As Variant, vmessage As Variant)
'This works
Set emailObj = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
emailObj.From = "name#myemail.com"
emailObj.To = vSendTo
emailObj.Subject = vsubject
emailObj.TextBody = vmessage
'emailObj.AddAttachment "c:\windows\win.ini"
Set emailConfig = emailObj.configuration
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.office365.com"
'Must exclude port if specifying SSL
'emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 587
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = True
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "name#myemail.com"
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "mypassword"

emailObj.Send
If Err.Number = 0 Then SMTPSend = True Else SMTPSend = False
End Function
There seem to be a number of posts on various forums suggesting that the CDO library doesn't work with port 587, but that's not true. I think the real issue is that SMTP services using port 587 are doing so because they require STARTTLS authentication and the http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl config option is specific to SSL, not TLS (I know, I know - not the most accurate description but it'll suffice for now).
Instead, there is another setting - http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendtls - that does support TLS, so using this with port 587 works fine:
config.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing").Value = 2 '2 = cdoSendUsingPort
config.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver").Value = "smtp.example.com"
config.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport").Value = 587
config.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate").Value = 1 '1 = cdoBasic
config.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername").Value = "my_username"
config.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword").Value = "myy_very_secret_password"
config.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendtls").Value = True
config.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout").Value = 60
config.Fields.Update()
This is what worked for me:
flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")= "smtp.office365.com"
flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")= 25
flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate")= 1
flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")= "name#myemail.com"
flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "mypasword"
flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl")= True
flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout")= 60
I don't know if you could fix it, but I got it with this:
Private Sub Command1_Click()

The error message means that your script can't connect to smtp.gmail.com on port 25. Nowadays most ISPs don't allow outbound mail on port 25 as a spam prevention measure. You need to send either through one of their mail relays, or the remote server must accept mail on a different port, usually 587 (submission) or 465 (SMTPS, deprecated).
Since you already have credentials you should probably just change the value of SMTPPort to 587 or 465. Gmail should accept authenticated mail on either of those ports.
As for your question about sending mail without an SMTP server, when using CDO you basically have 3 options for sending messages. You select the one you want to use via the sendusing configuration field:
cdoSendUsingPickup (numeric value 1): allows you to send mail without having to specify an SMTP server, but you must have an SMTP server installed on the host where the script is running. With this method the mail is submitted to the local SMTP server via a pickup folder. Does not require authentication, but the SMTP server must be configured to route mail correctly.
Normally, when you have a setup with local SMTP servers, these are configured to send all picked up mail to a central mail gateway/hub, which handles further delivery.
cdoSendUsingPort (numeric value 2, default): allows you to send mail to any SMTP server via the SMTP protocol. Also allows you to provide explicit credentials. With this method you must specify an SMTP server to send the mail to.
cdoSendUsingExchange (numeric value 3): allows you to send mail through the Exchange server of your domain. Requires a domain and an Exchange server, obviously.
