Example

The following sends an email to customer197@mailer.net, with a carbon-copy to sales@mailer.net and two blind carbon-copies. There are no attachments. Priority is normal and no return receipt is requested.

<% Set ASPMail = Server.CreateObject("ASPMail.ASPMailCtrl.1") %>
<%

mailServer = "mailer.mailer.net"
fromName = "System Administrator"
fromAddress = "admin@mailer.net"
priority = ""
returnReceipt = ""

toAddressList = "customer197@mailer.net"

ccAddressList = "sales@mailer.net"

bccAddressList = "admin@mailer.net"
bccAddressList = bccAddressList & ","
bccAddressList = bccAddressList & "loggingAccount@mailer.net"

attachmentList = ""
messageSubject = "Welcome on board!"
messageText = "Welcome to mailer.net"
messageText = messageText & Chr(10)
messageText = messageText & "We hope you enjoy our services."
messageText = messageText & Chr(10)


result = ASPMail.SendX( mailServer,      _ 
               fromName,      _ 
               fromAddress,      _ 
               priority,      _ 
               returnReceipt,      _
