To use an ASP form-mailer on a Windows Dedicated or Virtual Private Server (VPS), create a Web form in HTML that links to an ASP file, then upload it to your server. An example script is seen below:
<%
'Form should include a hidden field named redirect otherwise the user will be redirected to the home page
'Required settings - these must be set for this script to work
mail_to = "mary@secureserver.net"
mail_from = "test@secureserver.net"
On Error Resume Next
host_url = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")
req_method = Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD")
mail_body = vbCrLf
'Gather form submission items and translate into message body
If err.number <> 0 Then
Response.Write "Error processing mail request. Error code: " & err.number
Else
If (req_method = "GET") Then
For Each Item In request.QueryString
If item <> "" Then
key = item
value = Request.QueryString(item)
If(lcase(key) = "redirect") Then
landing_page = value
Else
mail_body = mail_body + ucase(key) + ": " + value + vbCrLf
End If
End If
Next
ElseIf (req_method = "POST") Then
For Each Item In request.form
If item <> "" Then
key = item
value = Request.Form(item)
If(lcase(key) = "redirect") Then
landing_page = value
Else
mail_body = mail_body + ucase(key) + " " + value + vbCrLf
End If
End If
Next
End If
End If
'Generate mail message.
If err.number <> 0 Then Response.Write "Error processing mail request. Error code: " & err.number Else Set msg = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message") Set myCon = Server.CreateObject ("CDO.Configuration") 'Out going SMTP server myCon.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "localhost" myCon.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 myCon.Fields.Update msg.Configuration = myCon msg.Subject = "Message from " & host_url msg.From = mail_from msg.To = mail_to msg.TextBody = mail_body msg.Send Set msg = Nothing End If If err.number <> 0 Then Response.Write "Error processing mail request. Error code: " & err.number Else If landing_page <> "" Then Response.Redirect landing_page Else Response.Redirect host_url End If End If %>
