Send an Email using ASP CDONTS

Sending an Email in ASP is pretty straight forward. The code is below:

Set objEmail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objEmail.to = "to_email@gmail.com"
objEmail.From = "your_email@domainname.com"
objEmail.Subject = "Subject"
objEmail.Body = "Email Body"
objEmail.send
Set objEmail = nothing

There you go thats how you send an email. Now lets break it down!

This creates a NewMail object from the CDONTS library.

Code:

Set objEmail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

To Property
The To property lets you specify who the email is to, rather self explanatory! The property has the following form

Code:

objEmail.to = "to_email@gmail.com"

From Property
The From property lets you, guess it, specify who the email is from. and it looks like this;

Code:

objEmail.From = "your_email@domainname.com"

Subject Property
This is getting rather repitive don't you think? The subject property lets you define the subject and looks, and you may have already guessed, like this;

Code:

objMail.Subject = "Subject"

Body Property
Now to the body section. This sets the text of the message, or HTML, which we'll look at soon. And it looks like this;

Code:

objMail.Body = "Email Body"

Almost done we send the email using the Send method.

Code:

objEmail.send

And then we release the resource of the object

Code:

Set objEmail = nothing

Thats it to send an email. If you need any other help please post your comments below
