How to use it

Posted by admin under Generic sendmail

This is the generic function header:

Function SendEmail( sEmailServer, sFromEmail, sToEmail, sSubject, sText )

It can be called like this:

sErrMsg = SendEmail( "smtp.theserver.com",
       "webmaster@aspcode.net", 
       "John@doe.com",
       "Important message",                
        "This is an important message bla bla" )


OK, how does it work?

1. You select the Email-component you have installed at your webserver on the Use it! page and press the Get Code button.

2. You take that code generated to you and copies it into a file you call IncGenMail.asp.

3. You include that file from the ASP page you want to send email from.

<!--#include file="incgenmail.asp"-->

4. You call the function as described above and more exact below.

Parameters

sEmailServer
The name of the email server you are supposed to use. Ask your webhost if you are not sure.

sFromEmail
The email address that should be the sender

sToEmail
Email address to the person you are sending it to


sSubject
Mail header

sText
The text. You can of course build it up to use multiple lines like this:
sText = "Hello" & vbCrLf
sText = sText & "Long time no seeing"
