ASPRunnerPro General questions

Any idea what would cause the Email Script using SMTP to stop working. It was working fine and then one day it no longer works. I am using ASPRunnerPro5.2 on a Windows 2000 Server. No updates had been made to the ASP code from when it was working to when it stopped working and I don't believe there were any Microsoft updates installed either. The script works fine from my laptop when saving and testing locally.

  • Make sure the SMTP server name did not change.
  • Some time SP3 block 3rd party application from sending email you may need to see if there were any update on the server.

you can test the port connection using START>RUN> TELNET yourSMTPSERVER.COM 25
You should receive a reply from your mail host when testing FROM the production machine. You can test FROM a local machine to be sure of the reply you aught to get.

If you get a reply while testing FROM your local machine but not FROM the production machine the port is blocked on the production machine.

If you get a reply on the production machine, the problem is on the production machine.

Thanks for the response...the DNS Servers IP addresses had been changed, but were never modified on the network connection of the webserver. Once that was corrected, the emails started to flow.
