email testing errors
November 29, 2005 12:00 AM
First question to ask is have you published this to a server or are you still testing on a local machine?To get mail to work you will need to have the course on a server. (It will never work from your local machine)also if on a server you will need to open the course in a browser using a URL, using windows explorer to start the course will not start the course in the web that will eventually send the mail and you will get an I/O error. The server will also have to have a mail server (virtual or otherwise) open on port 25 with relay switched to on.If the server is hosted in an intranet on your side of the firewall this is no issue at all, the only problem occurs when the server is on the web at an ISP, then open relay is not a possibility due to spammers using them to send millions of mails.If you are on a public server not within your intranet, you should consider another way to send the results back, the easiest is a simple database with an asp file as the script.Neil
