Need help with sending an email.

[Shimgreen]

I use the CDO.Message component to try and send an email but it always fails on the send part. I do not get it and I am frustrated because I cannot for the life of me understand why it wont work, I use almost this exact same code in VB6 and it will work fine, I try to use in .au3 and always an error on the send line.

Can someone please help me figure this out I would be thankful. Also, please note that I did not post my gmail account and password in the code being shown.

$oMail = ObjCreate("CDO.Message")

$oMAIL.Subject = "test"
$oMAIL.From = "Cody"
$oMAIL.Sender = "ChainHQ"
$oMAIL.To = "codymatt_82@hotmail.com"

$oMAIL.TextBody = "testing"

$oMAIL.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
$oMAIL.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
$oMAIL.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
$oMAIL.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "SECRET"
$oMAIL.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "SECRET"
$oMAIL.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465
$oMAIL.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = True
$oMAIL.Configuration.Fields.Update
$oMAIL.Send

Have you tried the written by Jos?

specifically, the 'myerrfunc' code, and registering the event handler to get an actual error message may prove helpful.

I use the cdoMailer extensively, and have found it to be solid, though the methods can be finicky.

@water, im gonna look into that right now.

haha, the written by Jos is obviously 10x superior to mine, and works like a charm.

No need to make my own crappier version

Thread solved.

Glad your problem is solved now
