I have set up cdonts code on my website for a simple online form. Once a visitor has entered their information and clicked 'send' a confirmation message comes up that the message has been sent. HOWEVER, the message never makes it to my inbox. Why could this be happening? When the code is looked at, it appears to be perfectly written. Could it be a problem with my webserver?

I am hosted on a Windows NT server that supports asp. I was told that a simple CDONTS form would be supported. They even gave me the forms to download and then upload to my site. I didn't change them at all!

So if anyone can offer some advice, I would appreciate it.

redhead,

Check if the specified SMTP server is valid, and if it accepts the specified FROM name. There a sometimes problems with sending mail when the smtp server only accepts certain domains.

Thank you for such a quick reply! As it turns out, the hosting service I am using contacted me to let me know that they are fixing some patches/glitches with their mail server software. Not sure what that means, but they claim my script should work after that. If not...you can be sure I will post my problems here!

I had thought of the SMTP issue, and had made extra sure that my script was written correctly. Because of this server problem, I am still not sure if my scripting is good, but will find out soon enough.

Thanks again for the help,

matt
