Best Approach For Mass Mailing
What would be the best approach to sending a mass email out without clogging the server or running the risk that emails maybe lost (possibly due to a timeout).
Currently, I've been given the task with sending out a monthly newsletter to our customers (upon request of course). It is an easy task from what I can tell, simply bcc all the emails, set HTMLBody and TextBody and send it off. But, I will be sending this to 5000 clients and dont want any dropped emails.
Plus, is there a way to determine failed email address (due to bad domain names, bad email address, etc) and report it to the web application?

I just took over maintaining an ASP codebase for sending out
newsletters by mail, as well as basic subscriber maintenance.
Thing is working ok today, with ~200 subscribers, but there are plans
on selling this 'solution' to clients with substantially higher
demands; at least in the low 1000's..
Would you consider asp suitable for this purpose? Would be a
definitive plus not having to use other technology, but i'm concerned
about timeouts and whatnot while sending out such a batch of mail.
Guess it could be made workable with tons and tons of logging, and
maybe generating a client redirect every X mails, to restart/keep the
script going?
Or is it perhaps possible to fork off a new thread and do this as a
real background task? I'm not too knowledgeable on ASP, and neither
was the guy who wrote this system in the first place, unfortunately.

I am web admin for a school's website and now and again I have to send
emails to those who have signed the guestbook and have consented to this.
Now I have a distribution list within outlook but whenever I try to send
these emails I receive different errors e.g. 'too many recipients' Does
using CDONTs to dynamically send emails eliminate this problem? Are you
aware of any cheap programs out there that will meet my needs? I would also
like to be able to easily track and delete the emails that are no longer in
use...

We need to create a user control (COM) in which it should be able to retrieve binary data from a given website after a user selects an item ID and clicks Retrive button.
We then can put this user control in a html page (generated by .asp page) so that internet users can use our data stored in our web server.
Any reference paper or sample source code?

you have a DB that contains about 2000 records.
Assume that the records are houses with addresses, already known to the user,
[remember, there are rooms, bathrooms fireplaces, garages etc].
What I want is this:
A user enters a known address in the form. The form seaches the DB and returns the address with full details.
That is, search results will be like,
Address 1234, number of rooms 3, bathrooms 3 etc.
If the address the user seached for is not found, the user is redirected to a page that prompts them to add it
to the DB. Also I would like for it [search results] to open in a mini window with an option for the user to close window after reviewing the records.
I have thought of using a drop-down but discarded that, 'cos what happens if the DB records gets to be in the thousands?

I will have a web site where hotels can list themselves on it.One thing I am encountering that is a challenge, is that every hotel has different types of rooms. Also, every hotel has the normal high and low seasons, and some even have more seasons such as shoulder, weekend, etc. which affect room rates. So here is how I concieve the design:
First, allow hotels to specify how many seasons they have, perhaps with a drop-down box of values such as 1,2,3...6,7 etc. They would then be presented with a series of text boxes, and asked to define the season, such as "High" "Low", etc. Adjacent to every season would be a beginning and ending date for that season. Next, they would be asked how many types of rooms they have, such as a drop down with 1,2,3,....5,6,7. Once decided,a form would present itself with form fields for the each room, such as description, ameneities, and most importanty, rates PER season. The seasons would be defined from previous step and would be unique for each hotel.
Once complete, this would give a web site where I could list hotels and each would have its seasons, rooms and rates listed uniquely.Is this a good concept?

I have a table which stores details of businesses. These businesses have associated links to 2 tables called areas and categories. What I would like to be able to do is display a list of all the businesses in a particular area with a breakdown of all the different categories in that area together with a corresponding count of records.
i.e. pull out all the businesses for a given area and order by business category
then for each category, display a count of the records in that particular category in that area.

Say I have a DB with 10,000 records and using MySQL paging. I want to put a link setup at the top of the page with the alphabet that will pop to the proper page for each of the letters.
So: 1 A B C D...
Click on 1, goes to page 1, click on A goes to page 7, click on B goes to page 10.. so on so forth. how to find the pages either through an SQL subquery or through ASP. I can write code to make it happen, but I'm looking for a solution that will not hamper performance as much as an array dump and search.

I have a test and production environment. The code works fine on test
but behaves erractically in production. The script needs to email people
who are subscribed to a particular service. On test it is a small list
but the list on production is fairly large. Does the CDO object have a
maximum number of people that can be BCCed? I also have email addresses
with hyphens in them, are there special characters, (other than @), that
have to be respected? I have seen some other posting with people having
issues with the CDO object and one of the suggestions is to:
# Try using a SendUsing value of 1 (pickup) instead of 2 (port). E.g.
the following line:
cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 2
Becomes
cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 1
What is the difference between these two? The webserver is juts using
the default SMTP server, is it going to work with a setting of
cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 1? Where are they picking it
up from?

I have a table in SQL server, that has three columns:
ID, Asset, Keywords.
i.e.
ID Asset Keywords
1 Car Mercedes
2 Car Toyota
3 Color Blue
Ok, what I'm trying to do through my asp page (since I cannot do it through SQL, seeing as how it appears that what I want to achieve would be outside the scope of why it was created)... is I'm trying to run a query that will get a list of the assets available and then string the keywords for that asset to a variable.

I tried using the one listed here http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/ASPCode/...rom-a-database/ but I keep getting an error which I've posted but haven't found an answer for yet. Does anyone know of any other one that I can use. I basically want to be able to pull a list of the emails out of my db and send an email to those addresses.

My problem is, when I send e-mail to our members, not all of them are getting them and there is no rhyme or reason. I was thinking of re-writting the program to go through MS Outlook so our Exchange Server will take care of sending it. Then again, probably there is someone who can help me figure out why some e-mail are not getting delivered even though they have valid e-mail addresses. There must just be about 25-35 out of probably close to 2000 members in our mailing list. I am using SMTP do you think it is getting overloaded with delivery? Sometimes they would come back with a delivery delayed notification.
I posted my code because there might be something in my program that does not work for mass e-mail sending and somebody might want to give me a suggestion on handling this matter.
What if I send the e-mail one by one instead of doing a bcc?

I just had a problem where I needed to update a bunch of records from a single form submission. I am sure there are lots of better ways to solve this, but I offer the code I came up with. Also I’m asking if there are any better ways.
The form page had a form in it with a table. Each row in the table had a database record in it. In each row, sat the input field titled “myOrder” and a hidden field called “myID”. The table was a repeat region, so that each field was populated dynamically from each record in the database. The number of records was dynamic in that they increased or decreased by the category the user was in.
The page submitted to my mass_update page.
Here is the relevant part of the code that took each “myID” and “myOrder” data and then updated the database record:...

I'm going to have a need to send out about 30,000 e-mail messages regularly to addresses that reside in a list/database. (not spam :)
Because of insitutional infrastructure issues on the +receiving+ side, I need to space out the sends: say, send 500 messages, pause ten minutes, send another 500, until the full list of 30,000 is complete.
I'm either going to code this myself, or buy a component that does this for me. Can anyone advise me of a component that can deliberately slow down the processing/sending of an e-mail job? The SMTP stuff will reside on our end.

my page(searchresults.asp) will show all the results that you searched for.. These results are from the sql server. All the datas are different. On the right of every record, there is a checkbox.
Now is the scenario..
After all records are shown, I will check a few checkboxes. Then i will click the button. All the data that is checked will be inserted in the sql server. But the thing is that all data records is different..
Its actually kinda off like the hotmail, where you checked a few boxes and put them into a different folder..

My client does not want to use a listserv. He wants to send 5000+ emails,
once everyday to our members. Our hosting company has agreed to this.
What are my options here?
I know I can write a basic looping SQL script, but that would take
forever....
What about an "email queue" through SQL? But I cannot install any components
on the web server, so what options are there?

I am testing a mass emailer that I will be sending out this week. I use ASP to read email addresses from a db table which is contains a list of email addresses of those who will receive the email blast. I have included myself to see the results of the test. I noticed when I received the email, the body or content of the email was repeated as many times as there are people in the email list the code was reading from.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong in the code below?

I want to use a simple CDONT mail script to allow the administrator of a site to send an email blast to their users. there are approx 1600 emails in the MS SQL db table. I would like to parse the entire email address column and get a variable that is all the email addresses separated by a comma so that the form picks it up as all the emails in the 'bcc' field as in the eg. below..I know there has to be an easier way but I want to get these guys up and running.
<%
objCDO.To = "Recipient@oursite.org"
objCDO.From = "mailer@oursite.org"
objCDO.bcc = "$variable_of_all_email_addresses"
Dim txtSubject
txtSubject = "Insert comments and case info here"
objCDO.Subject = ""***ATTENTION*** NEW CASE - MISSING CHILD"
objCDO.Body = txtSubject
objCDO.Send

I am having problems e-mailing information gathered from a form.
Origionally Flash sent all the info to an asp file that e-mailed the content to me.
The problem is that the people running the server changed the server and I was informed that there is now no smtp mailer, or something like that.
I don't think the server supports other languages, I think the guy said it was a domino? server running windows.
I have tried writing simple html forms with php, but can't get anything to work.

I have over 6,000 subscribers to my newsletter and am considering using CDOSYS to send the newsletter to them.This would create a multipart(text and html)version to be sent to everyone.
Whilst the HTML is only 8kb I have the feeling that creating a page which loops over 6,000 times to produce all those emails is not very efficient.or is it?
I don't exactly want to run a test and mail to almost everyone and then it fail/timeout/hang the server.

I'm thinking about how to implement a web based SMS mailing list. The web users can subscribe / unsubscribe to the mailing list via the site and then the mailing list is used to send out SMSs containing latest offers etc.
Implementing the mailing list will be relatively simple, but I have never dealt with SMS within a site before, and was wondering if there are any ways of sending SMSs using ASP Classic.
(SMS = Short Message Service = Text Message)
