communication error

[simcoster]

I’m trying to send a simple mail message via access
the simplest way I found was to open an outlook message but it brings up the annoying “somebody is trying to send on your behalf” thing
I found out there’s an alternative using cdosys commands but I got a communication error CdoE_NETWORK_ERROR
I checked which port outlook uses with the netstat command and saw there was no
“syn_sent” status next to my line, but for some reason it still can’t connect
I know there can be allot of possibilities to this but how can I check? Maybe I can analyze outlook’s messages?
Any suggestions will be welcomed
Thanks :)

Welcome

If you are using CDO/SMTP then you will be communicating directly with an STMP server. This avoids Outlook completely. I do not think the that looking at Outlook’s message formt will help. It is not a message format issue but a software communication issue.

Would you please post all the VBA code you are using to send a message.

couldn't the problem originate from the message not being encrypted or something of that sort?
i don't know exactly how outlook communicates with my particular server, maybe the server can somehow differentiate between cdosys messages and outlook messages

It would really help to see the VBA code you are using to send the message.

Would you please post the your VBA code.
