 |
|
we have a website for work coded in asp.
I have been researching and found out i will need CDO to send the e-mail, but we want a page where we can clcik a button to test the email server, when button is clicked it will send an e-mail and if it is delivered ok it will reply back to the page saying it is working fine.
any clues on how to do this, or where i can research it. I have a deadline of 5P.M today

update on it.
We can send the E-Mail and it is easy to get it to reply once it hits our server, we need to know what we send the reply to and how to get the web page to detect that the reply has been recieved, will it need to be sent to a database?

sort of, we have our company website, on one of the pages there will be a button
when you click the button an E-Mail will be sent to one of our mail boxes, our E-Mail server at work retrieves E-Mails from all mail boxes and sends them to the right people, and on our e-mail server when it recieves this test one it will automatically reply. mean while the website is still waiting for answer, when the reply is returned the site will detect it which will show a message saying the e-mail server is up and running and if it doesnt recieve a reply it means the e-mail server is down. This will allow us to monitor the e-mail server without having to keep checking it.
we have half a solution anyway for anyone else that wants to know, using ASP it is simple to generate an e-mail just search for CDO ASP and youll find some information relatively easily, we then set our e-mail server to reply to this message which im not sure how it is done but am told it is simple and think it is through outlook. now we need to look into the website monitoring a reply. this requires an ASP pop3 component. search for one and there are many most you need to buy though, install this on the server and it will allow us to monitor the Pop3 account on our Providers sevrer and once it recieves an E-Mail reply to the Test Mail box the code (the bit we our missing) will have a timeout and loop and after so long without a reply it will tell us it is down
