Hi all

Two probs

I have nearly finished my new site BUT!!!!

(1) I am trying to find a script / code (ASP preferably) that will allow me to find out if a domain name is available. The only ones i've managed to find are CGI / PHP or Java which I don't understand enough of to customise them to my site.

(2) Problems testing email using asp-email locally on my machine. Everything seems OK when I upload to my host for testing, but I come up with errors all over the place locally even though i'm running the reccommended mailserver. I know this is a bit vauge but I can supply any code that anyone requires.

Web address http://www.lowestoft-business.co.uk

E-mail enquiries@lowestoft-business.co.uk

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I also forgot to mention you can use HexGadgets to check the domain exists and you can even check that the reciepient exists.

Hi
cheers for the reply - I will check out the links later today

The error I get is below as is the code This only happens when I try to test the code on localhost even though I'm running ASPEmail, so I assume it may be a configuration problem instead of a coding issue(?).

Any thoughts would be gratefully recieved

Cheers

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01F4)

Make usre you have installed this component Persits.MailSender or registerd its .dll using regsvr32 command.

**aeuden** · 01-18-2007, 12:13 PM

OK got e-mail working (Thanks - just registering the .dll - how simple!!)

Still trying to find a script that will do a domain lookup and find out if it is available or not - using ASP (the whole site is ASP driven!) - preferably without using a third party component. I found a couple but they use IFrames which I would like to avoid as they won't fit into the space on the site.

I would like to revive this thread, if possible, as I am having a problem sending email through my test server (my computer).

I installed ASPEmail into c:\Inetpub\ASPEmail without a problem. I then went to the command prompt, navigated to c:\Inetpub\ASPEmail and entered "regsvr Bin/aspemail.dll", receiving the response, "DllRegisterServer in aspemail.dll succeeded." I then went to the Control Panel and double-clicked EmailAgent. I made the Current Status "Go" and changed the SMTP Relay through to "localhost."

However, in my test program (which works remotely), on the line that executes Mail.Send ("Mail" being the object), I get the runtime error, "550 5.7.1 Unable to relay." I am using Mail.Host = "localhost".

I am not well versed when it comes to the server side of things, so if anyone knows what I should do next then I would greatly appreciate some assistance.

what mail server is installed on localhost ?

**GLSmyth** · 03-08-2007, 05:20 PM

I found the answer - I was not passing authentication so it was not allowing relay. Thanks for responding.

Cheers -
