CDOSYS

The following information is required for configuring your email application to use the CDOSYS object:

SMTP server

This is the name of the SMTP server used by the object to distribute the generated email.

Valid entries for this include:
  • ip address (e.g. 192.168.0.1)
  • domain name (e.g. mail. server.com)
  • server name, if recognized within your network
This information may also be retrieved using server side code (e.g. <%="server_name"%>).

Port

This specifies the designated port on the computer which the email object will use to send email. The default is 25 and will work for most configurations.

Timeout

This sets the number of seconds which the email object should attempt to connect to a specified SMTP server to relay the generated email.

Authenticate

Determines whether to use authentication or not. Default if not given is false.

Username and Password

These fields allow you to specify a username and password to access the SMTP server for use by the mail object. Restricting SMTP access provides security against outside sources sending mail through your server.
