Mass E-mail Components
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 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 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 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 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:...

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..

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 am trying to send out a mass email newsletter. I have 600+ subscribers in our SQL Server Database. Well, is ASPMail (Server Object's product) good for this? If so I have some concerns about the error handling and assuring people don't continue to recieve the same email. Does anyone have expierence with this? If so, what is your advice?

using CDONTs to dynamically send emails eliminate this problem? Are you

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 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.From = "mailer@oursite.org"

Dim txtSubject
txtSubject = "Insert comments and case info here"
objCDO.Subject = ""***ATTENTION*** NEW CASE - MISSING CHILD"

Here's the scenario. I'm currently using cdosys/asp to send mail to
our SMTP server. We use a product called MailFilter to check for SPAM.
It doesn't work very well. If MailFilter isn't working cdosys also has
problems and emails don't get sent. As these email are confirmations
for customer's bookings this means lots of customers calling to see
where their confirmation emails have gone. The root of the problem is
MailFilter but that here to stay. So I had this thought of sending the
message to a queue of some sort so at least they will get to the
customer eventually rather than being lost for good. So here's the
question:
Can I/How do I send messages to a mailbox on our exchange server using
cdo.message?

I'm using CDO from my vb component to fire email. The problem is
whenever one of the email addresses in to, or cc is wrong then none of
the mails are fired even to the correct addresses. It gives an error
like
The server rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server
response was: 550 Relaying denied for <xfd@wre.com>
My code goes like this. Why is the mail server trying to look for the
validation of email ids??I want that atleast the mail should be fired
to the correct email addresses rather than no email fire. Can i
achieve that.
Dim iMsg As New CDO.Message
Dim iConf As New CDO.Configuration
With iConf
.Fields.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
.Fields.Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 10 ' quick timeout
.Fields.Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoBasic
.Fields.Item(cdoSendUserName) = "username"
.Fields.Item(cdoSendPassword) = "password"
.Fields.Item(cdoURLProxyServer) = "server:80"
.Fields.Item(cdoURLProxyBypass) = "<local>"
.Fields.Item(cdoURLGetLatestVersion) = True
.Fields.Update

.To = strToEmail
.From = strFromEmail
.CC = strCCEmail

If strMailFormat = "TEXT" Then

Else

I am working on getting through the book Teach Yourselve Active Server Pages in 24 Hours.
Now, I am not learning ASP.Net, but ASP. Why, because, I am getting a lot of calls for asp, but not many for .Net. And I just don't know enough as I'd lilke.
At any rate. I have gotten to the section on Working with components. for example the MSWC.NextLink
I don't have it. I am running IIS 5.1 because I am on a Windows XP machine. And I am told I need a SDK download, but which one? Everywhere I look, its IIS 6, but that doesn't work on my machine. So, how do I get these components so I can run them.

After working for so many yrs in ASP and COM I still feel novice. I have asp
page nd a COM component (.exe) which is written in VB. For some fixure, I
have to remove my IIS and reinstall it. My ASP page is not instantiating my
component. Whereas, components which are dlls working frin in ASP pages....I
checked permissions on DCOMCNFG, file directory, folder, file.
Any clues what is missing.
Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0178 (0x80070005)
The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is
denied to this object.
/testcomponent.asp, line 2
line2 is just a createObject for my .exe com component.

I am new to using components in ASP, whilst I can see the huge benefit of using them, the big problem that I am coming up against is that my host won't let me register them on the server.
My question is simply this: is the only way around this problem to setup your own server (which is probably beyond my technical ability) or are there lenient hosting companies out there that will let you install components freely (obviously subject to their approval)?
I dont know if there exists a directory of components somewhere which have been approved by hosting companies as safe to use on servers? Im a little confused as to how I can take advantage of components if I can't physically install them. Is it possible to use a component removely without having to install it on the server?
Sorry, I know I have asked a lot of questions but I am really in the dark here and not quite sure what my options are.

I need to convert a dynamic (ASP) page on my site to a PDF, so I am looking for a PDF component which can open the page from a URL. Failing that it would need to open an HTML file from disk and convert.
I've been searching and there are hundreds with rather random pricing and different feature sets.
Can anyone recommend a component for this job which doesn't cost a fortune?

I've just been reviewing a COM component (VB6) that I wrote a while ago to
record when and where 404 errors occur; each error is logged in a DB along
with supporting information.
Looking at it now, I'm wondering why I chose a COM component rather than
just an ASP page. There is not that much code involved, so I could easily
have expanded the ASP page that calls the DLL to do the whole job....
COM Component:
Generally perform faster than an ASP page, but there is an overhead
associated with creating a new object in the calling ASP page, so more
suited to more intense apps that dont require user-interaction. Also keeps
code private of course.
ASP:
Keeping you code in an ASP page is often more efficient for smaller jobs,
where the cost of creating a COM object outweighs the potential performance
gain. Also prefered for tasks that require frequent user interaction. Code
remains public (to those who have access to server).
This is what prompted my question: At what point, does it become worthwhile
to go for a COM component as opposed to an ASP page? Is there that much
difference in it?
Are perceptions of the issues fairly accurate?
I've updated the DLL in question - it was a bit of a ball ache: modify code
& compile, reset IIS, then copy DLL to server and re-register. I know my DLL
in this example doesnt do much, and I'm certain that modifying and copying
ASP pages would be simple & efficient, but at what point does it pay to use
a DLL?

I migrated an application from NT4 (IIS4) to 2003 (IIS6).
The application only works when the components are registered with regsvr32.
One of the webpages doesn't work-- when I fill the form out and hit submit I
get "compx error '800af10a' Insufficient memory to perform operation.
/submit.asp, line 283"
I've tried going through and changing permissions but haven't had any luck.
I also tried setting the Web Site to use an Application Pool that I created
to run as System Mode but that didn't make any difference.
Everything works when I select "IIS5 Isolation Mode".
Knowing that it works under IIS5 Isolation mode how can I determine what is
causing the message so I can run it under IIS6?
