This article describes how to send HTML formatted mail using CDO for Windows 2000 (CDOSYS) or CDO for Exchange 2000 (CDOEX) using a remote computer's SMTP service.
MORE INFORMATION
Create a file called Cdosmtp.vbs and paste the following code:
' Send by connecting to port 25 of the SMTP server. Dim iMsg Dim iConf Dim Flds Dim strHTML Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2 set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message") set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") Set Flds = iConf.Fields ' Set the CDOSYS configuration fields to use port 25 on the SMTP server. With Flds .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPort 'ToDo: Enter name or IP address of remote SMTP server. .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "<remote SMTP server>" .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 10 .Update End With ' Build HTML for message body. strHTML = "<HTML>" strHTML = strHTML & "<HEAD>" strHTML = strHTML & "<BODY>" strHTML = strHTML & "<b> This is the test HTML message body</b></br>" strHTML = strHTML & "</BODY>" strHTML = strHTML & "</HTML>" ' Apply the settings to the message. With iMsg Set .Configuration = iConf .To = "<email address>" 'ToDo: Enter a valid email address. .From = "<email address>" 'ToDo: Enter a valid email address. .Subject = "This is a test CDOSYS message (Sent via Port 25)" .HTMLBody = strHTML .Send End With ' Clean up variables. Set iMsg = Nothing Set iConf = Nothing Set Flds = Nothing MsgBox "Mail Sent!"- Edit the sections of the code that are marked "ToDo".
- Save the file, and then double-click it.
The code creates an HTML-formatted message and sends it using the remote computer's SMTP service.
