Cdonts
I am trying to get my website to send an automatic email when a message is posted to a forum. I can get it to send an email to my email myname@joimail.com it works fine but when I try to send it to another email (such as one I created on hotmail.com or another email service) address it waits awhile and then sends out an email that says
"This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.

asims13@hotmail.com"

to the "from" email (which is mine).

but it never makes it to asims13@hotmail.com (I have made sure that the address is right)

Any body know what is wrong?

THIS WORKS:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
emailbody = "<html><head><title>" & emailsub & "</title></head>"
emailbody = "<body>New Message Posted on&nbsp;" & now()
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><b>Category:</b> " & Request("category")
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><b>Subject:</b> " & emailsub
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><b>Body:</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;" & varTAFormatted
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><b>Message ID:</b> " & messageid
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><a href=""http://localhost/wsmbc/Message.asp?mess=" & messageid & """>"
emailbody = emailbody & "Click Here to Reply</a></body></html>"

Set objSendMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

With objSendMail
.From = "Willow Springs QA Forum <asims12@joimail.com>"
.To = "<asims12@joimail.com>"
.Subject = "New Message Posted on the Q&A Forum"
.BodyFormat = 0
.MailFormat = 0
.body = emailbody
.send
End With
Set objSendMail = Nothing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS DOESN'T
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
emailbody = "<html><head><title>" & emailsub & "</title></head>"
emailbody = "<body>New Message Posted on&nbsp;" & now()
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><b>Category:</b> " & Request("category")
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><b>Subject:</b> " & emailsub
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><b>Body:</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;" & varTAFormatted
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><b>Message ID:</b> " & messageid
emailbody = emailbody & "<br><br><a href=""http://localhost/wsmbc/Message.asp?mess=" & messageid & """>"
emailbody = emailbody & "Click Here to Reply</a></body></html>"

Set objSendMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

With objSendMail
.From = "Willow Springs QA Forum <asims12@joimail.com>"
.To = "<asims13@hotmail.com>"
.Subject = "New Message Posted on the Q&A Forum"
.BodyFormat = 0
.MailFormat = 0
.body = emailbody
.send
End With
Set objSendMail = Nothing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All that I changed was the outgoing email (which is valid) and it quits working.

I'm not really to familiar with IIS and ASP, but I'm guessing this may be a problem with your SMTP server settings in IIS. Do you know what you have the default set as?
