Hi Chris

ive got ASPprotect configured and customized pretty well except for the emailing feature...

Im using godaddy shared hosting with a windows iis7 server. Ive called them and dug through their help files and found the correct settings:

remore server: relay-hosting.secureserver.net (no authentication)

http://www.extensionyoga.com/settings_screen.jpg - a screen shot of my admin settings.

No matter which setting i use i keep getting a 500 internal server error and unfortunatly with godaddy i cannot see a detailed error message. even when callin them thats all they can tell me.

When using port 25 forwarding it seems like its doing something before it returns an error and the others give an instant error.

any ideas, suggestions? did i miss something obvious? 

Also is it possible to do a one time fee for membership signup without loosing the IPN feature. Maybe i messed something up but when i altered the paypal code for a one time payment, i could not get users active upon payment.

Thanks in advance for any help!

cdosys using any remote email server and smtp authentication is no different than setting up and using an account in outlook or outlook express

doesn't really matter who you host with as long as you have a real working email account somewhere.. by real I mean not (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc etc etc)

for example here is what I would use..

CDOSYS using remote server..
SMTP authentication

mail.cjwsoft.com

someaccount@cjwsoft.com
somepassword

and whammo  cdosys is sending emails

have you tried that scenario.. it's the best way to go.. I mean everyone has a real email account with some service or domain


as for your other question please start a new thread for that... please explain it a little differently.. what you wrote is not clear to me.. not sure what your doing

Thanks Chris,

i didnt know you had to use a "real" email account. Im sure that will work soon as i try it.

well, you don't have to... there are lots to ways for it work.. some you tried

but that is the best way for a lot of reasons..

well mr sneaky

in that screenshot you have smtp virtual server selected which is incorrect

change it to the cdosys remote server option

humm  they might be blocking something.. to say the least they are real bad option when hosting an asp site

did you find any asp examples from them for sending emails..

perhaps that would help... it might show a working scenario that you can duplicate

also try remote server   localhost

with no smtp authentication... see what happens there

Added: September/24/2008 at 10:42pm | IP Logged

well, that is ASP.NET code but it's basically saying

cdosys remote server

use    relay-hosting.secureserver.net

with no smtp authentication..


The only reason I can think it might not work is the admin email in the admin settings probably needs to be one from within their system under that scenario..
