CDONTS error - too much data?


CDONTS error - too much data? Griff
9/30/2005 5:34:10 PM
inetserver asp components:
I have been using the CDONTS component on Windows 2000 to send emails for a
long time now (code below).

However, over time, the report that I am sending has got rather longer and
it now gives me an "unknown exception" error. However, I know that it's
because there's now too much data (If I remove some of the text it goes
fine).

I've "compacted" the message as much as I can, but I've got up to the limit
now of how much I can compact it by...

I've tried to write it to a file and attach that, but the same size limit
appears to hold for attachments too.

What to do....?

Thanks in advance

Griff

----------------
public sub sendThatEmail(byVal sMessage, byVal asToAddressesArray)
Dim obOrderEmail
' Send the email
Set obOrderEmail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
with obOrderEmail
.BodyFormat = 1
.MailFormat = 0
.From = sSystemAutomatedEmailSenderAddress
.Value("Reply-To") = sSystemAutomatedEmailReplyToAddress

.To = join(asToAddressesArray,";")

.Subject = "Billing Report"
.Body = sMessage
.Send
end with
Set obOrderEmail = Nothing
end sub
----------------------------

Ditch CDONTS and switch to CDO.

Looks like the way forward - thanks.

One quick question:

What would one expect for "<enter_mail.server_here>" ? Not sure what to add
(or in what format)

Thanks!

PS One minor thing - Microsoft seem to have changed their pages around, so
some of the links to their site don't work :-(

You'll need to contact Aaron (ASPFAQ owner) about the broken links... (see
the "Feedback" link on the same page).

With regard to "<enter_mail.server_here>", this would be in the form;

"smtp.yourmailserver.com"

For example, had you been using the Microsoft server, this would be;

..Item(sch & "smtpserver") = "maila.!microsoft.com"

! added by me to prevent bot's

As an aside, if you don't have your own dedicated mail server, use your
ISP's (if permitted) or, get yourself a copy of Argosoft;
