<%
Option Explicit
Dim objNewMail
' First create an instance of NewMail
Object
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
' After an instance of NewMail Object
has been created.
' If you like you can use this one
line of code to send the mail.
' objNewMail.Send From, To, Subject,
Message
' or you can give every value seperate
objNewMail.From = "webmaster@devasp.com"
objNewMail.To = "test@devasp.com"
' Please replace the "From"
and "To" email addresses with your
' own valid email address. I recieve
too many emails
' from people who test this sample
and keep sending
' emails to test@devasp.com, or
they keep the "From" property
' as webmaster@devasp.com and I
get response of
' undeliverable emails.
' NOTE: If the "To" or
"From" properties of CDONTS contain
' invalid email address you will
not recieve the email.
objNewMail.Subject = "This is a test Mail"
objNewMail.Body = "This is the Body text of this test
mail."
objNewMail.Send
' After the Send method, NewMail
Object become Invalid
' You should set it to nothing to
relase the memory
Set objNewMail = Nothing
' If you want to send another mail
' you have to create a new instance
of NewMail Object again.
Response.Write "Email has been sent"
