HTML published scoring incorrectly

127.0.0.1:25 I suspect what this is is the following.....127.0.0.1 is a LOCAL IP address assigned by the router to what it thinks is the email server. the :25 refers to port 25 which is the smtp (outbound email) port. Keep in mind that machines that are not on your network will not be able to see the machine at 127.0.0.1 since that is local ip only.This has been discussed many times on this board. The email results function really doesn't work on files published to HTML UNLESS the email server is running an open email relay OR you are on an intranet that has restricted access.I know of no email administrators that are running open email relays anymore. The spam/virus risk is just too great.If the software is not running on an intranet, the only way to email results is to post it to a cgi and have the cgi application email it out. In IIS5 (Windows 2K)the collaborative data object (CDONTS) can handle that. In IIS6 (Windows 2K3) CDOSYS handles it. Not sure how to do it on an Apache server.Lin, I can send you the code I use for this BUT in order for it to work you have to be running either IIS5 or 6 AND SMTP services need to be running on that server with email relaying off and email restricted to the IP of the server.if you want the code email me. It is in my profile.Edited By: tekprof on 2005-12-15 23:24:39
