Below is an example function used in my classic asp code to send e-mail with Attachments. The e-mail is written in HTML format and attachments picked up from the physical path on the Server where the Application is hosted on IIS.
I’m using a hard-coded path in the sample below for the Attachment example. You can create a dynamic string by fetching the path from the DB.
I’m using CDOSYS mail provider object below to send e-mail.
Function GenerateEmailCEF(senderemail, recipient)
MailProvider = "CDOSYS"
EmailFmt = 0 'For HTML, 1 is for Plain Text ' SMTP Server Config
Dim rsSMTPSendUsing, rsSMTPServer, rsSMTPServerPort, rsSMTPSendUsername, rsSMTPSendPwd, rsSMTPUseSSL Dim SMTPSendUsing, SMTPServer, SMTPServerPort, SMTPSendUsername, SMTPSendPwd, SMTPUseSSL
SMTPSendUsing = "1"
SMTPServer = "smtp.xx.xx" 'Change as per your configuration.
SMTPServerPort = "25"
SMTPSendUsername = ""
SMTPSendPwd = ""
SMTPUseSSL = "false"
if MailProvider = "CDONTS" then set objMail=CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
if MailProvider = "CDOSYS" then set objMail =CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMail.From = senderemail
objMail.To = recipient
objMail.Subject = "Test Subject"
if MailProvider = "CDONTS" then objMail.MailFormat = EmailFmt
if MailProvider = "CDONTS" then objMail.BodyFormat = EmailFmt
'Created only HTML format
emailbod = "<html?<HEAD?<TITLE?</TITLE?</HEAD?<BODY?"
emailbod = emailbod & "<BR?Mail Body."
'Add attachments to mail.
newfn = "c:\Test\myfile.pdf" 'Path on the Server.
if MailProvider = "CDONTS" then execute ("objMail.AttachFile(" & newfn & ")")
if MailProvider = "CDOSYS" then execute ("objMail.AddAttachment(" & newfn & ")")
if MailProvider = "CDONTS" then objMail.Body = emailbod
if MailProvider = "CDOSYS" then objMail.HTMLBody = emailbod
objMail.BodyPart.Charset = "UTF-8"
objMail.HTMLBodyPart.Charset = "UTF-8"
if MailProvider = "CDOSYS" then
objmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = SMTPSendUsing
objmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = SMTPServer
objmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = SMTPServerPort
objmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = SMTPUseSSL
if SMTPSendusername <> "" then
objmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = SMTPSendusername
objmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = SMTPSendPwd
objmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
end if
objmail.Configuration.Fields.Update
end if
objMail.Send
set objMail=Nothing
End Function
