Using MEWeb in a forum

Fury · Post by **Fury** » Fri Jul 12, 2002 5:20 pm

I am using a forum program on my site (Snitz) and would like to enable the e-mail features of that application. Unfortunately ME is not one of their supported e-mail components. They do support Chili!Mail, aspmail, Jmail, CDONTS, and a bunch of others. The code in your resolve.asp file looks similar to some of theirs except that yours has a lot more fields.

Can you give me the code that I would need to get started trying to get this to work in Snitz? Here's a sample of what their code looks like for some other components:

case "jmail"
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("Jmail.smtpmail")
objNewMail.ServerAddress = strMailServer
objNewMail.AddRecipient strRecipients
objNewMail.Sender = strSender
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.body = strMessage
objNewMail.priority = 3
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors
objNewMail.execute

case "chilicdonts"
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject ("CDONTS.NewMail")
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors
objNewMail.Host = strMailServer
objNewMail.To = strRecipients
objNewMail.From = strSender
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.Body = strMessage
objNewMail.Send

Any help you could give to at least get me started would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Ignore the code from the webmail source. The webmail uses a custom component that is built for webmail, and can be difficult to use elsewhere. You can use aspmail and JMail if you have these, and the Professional version of MailEnable has it's own component (equivalent to JMail/aspmail/etc.). The latest version of the Pro includes documentation on all the methods and properties, but I have included some examples below. Make sure that when you install the Professional package, that you selected the ASP send mail component (installed by default).

<%
Dim oMail
Set oMail = server.CreateObject("MEMail.Message")
oMail.MailFrom = "peter@mailenable.com"
oMail.MailFromDisplayName = "Test Account"
oMail.ContentType = "text/html;"
oMail.MailTo = "peter@mailenable.com"
oMail.Subject = "Welcome to our service"
oMail.MessageBody = "<html><body><h1>Hello there,<BR>Welcome to our
new service.</h1></body></html>"
oMail.SendMessage
%>

Sending an email with an attachment:
<%
Dim oMail
set oMail = server.CreateObject("MEMail.Message")
oMail.MailFrom = "peter@mailenable.com"
oMail.MailFromDisplayName = "Update Account"
oMail.MailTo = "customer@mailenable.com"
oMail.Attachmentfilename = "c:\documents\updateinfo_14_4.zip"
oMail.Attachmentname = "updateinfo.zip"
oMail.Subject = "New update information"
oMail.MessageBody="Find the new info attached.â€
oMail.SendMessage
%>

so finally, adjusting for your page:

Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("MEMail.Message")
objNewMail.Server = strMailServer
objNewMail.MailTo= strRecipients
objNewMail.MailFrom= strSender
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.MessageBody= strMessage
objNewMail.SendMessage

I'm not sure how your page formats strRecipients string. MailEnable can have multiple addresses if you use ; as a delimiter.

You're the best! I'll try it out later today and let you know how it goes.

I looked for the documentation you referred to and there wasn't anything in the doc folder that had the detail I needed. Is that where it is or is it a seperate download?

Finally got a chance to try it. All I had to do was replace the Chili mail code with the code you provided and BINGO! It worked with no tweaking on my part. Thanks a lot!

It depends on the application you are using for your forum. I am using Snitz Forum. There are 2 files that you need to update. What forum are you using?

kruger@sanarchitect.net · Fri Jul 26, 2002 3:45 pm

Im not sure i understand the question..
I downloaded snitz forum
what do you mean by which forum?
email me directly and ill be sure to reply quicker

Oh, I didn't know you downloaded Snitz.

All you need to do is add the code above (after the "so finaly...") to the first select case statement in inc_mail.asp

Then, edit admin_config_email.asp so it will show as an option in the mail admin section of your site.

( Ignore the smilies. This forum is turning the 8 into a smile)
Dim theComponent(13)
Dim theComponentName(13)
Dim theComponentValue(13)

'## the components
theComponent(0) = "SMTPsvg.Mailer"
theComponent(1) = "Persits.MailSender"
theComponent(2) = "SMTPsvg.Mailer"
theComponent(3) = "CDONTS.NewMail"
theComponent(4) = "CDONTS.NewMail"
theComponent(5) = "dkQmail.Qmail"
theComponent(6) = "Geocel.Mailer"
theComponent(7) = "iismail.iismail.1"
theComponent(8) = "Jmail.smtpmail"
theComponent(9) = "ASPMail.ASPMailCtrl.1"
theComponent(10) = "ocxQmail.ocxQmailCtrl.1"
theComponent(11) = "SoftArtisans.SMTPMail"
theComponent(12) = "SmtpMail.SmtpMail.1"
theComponent(13) = "MEWebMail.MailMessage"

'## the name of the components
theComponentName(0) = "ASPMail"
theComponentName(1) = "ASPEMail"
theComponentName(2) = "ASPQMail"
theComponentName(3) = "CDONTS"
theComponentName(4) = "Chili!Mail"
theComponentName(5) = "dkQMail"
theComponentName(6) = "GeoCel"
theComponentName(7) = "IISMail"
theComponentName(8) = "JMail"
theComponentName(9) = "OCXMail"
theComponentName(10) = "OCXQMail"
theComponentName(11) = "SA-Smtp Mail"
theComponentName(12) = "SMTP"
theComponentName(13) = "MailEnable"

'## the value of the components
theComponentValue(0) = "aspmail"
theComponentValue(1) = "aspemail"
theComponentValue(2) = "aspqmail"
theComponentValue(3) = "cdonts"
theComponentValue(4) = "chilicdonts"
theComponentValue(5) = "dkqmail"
theComponentValue(6) = "geocel"
theComponentValue(7) = "iismail"
theComponentValue(8) = "jmail"
theComponentValue(9) = "ocxmail"
theComponentValue(10) = "ocxqmail"
theComponentValue(11) = "sasmtpmail"
theComponentValue(12) = "smtp"
theComponentValue(13) = "mailenable"

That should do it. Now all you need to do is go into your snitz admin and configure mailenable as your e-mail component.

Ok, I'm using Snitz Version 3.4.02 (the latest) & it's still not sending mail.
Instead of 14 objects in the array (13), there are 20 objects (19). I added the code for MailEnable & I was able to see & select MailEnable in the Email config for Snitz. But when I registered a new user, I did not get the email. I don't see any traffic in the MailEnable logs either (new server that isn't "live" yet so there is no traffic except for my testing).
Any ideas?

Ok, I'll admit it. I'm an idiot. It works now. I had forgotten to allow localhost to relay. Sheesh.

Well, this is a bit unfortunate for me as I was actually searching for something else. Well this is not embedded and I am not good at this one. So I will seek some help from my friends to help you out.
