ASP Sendmail has huge delay
I'm hosted on a shared server with Godaddy.com... I have several forms on my website that all use the same ASP file to send out my forms..
It worked fine for a long time, but since 3 weeks, the forms send to my e-mail arrive after 1 day instead of instantly.
Calling Godaddy did not help as they stated all is working fine (no delays) on their end and refuse to help with custom scripts..
My emails are also hosted by godaddy like my website.
Hopefully someone here can have a look at my code and see why I might have such huge delays?
Note:
The delays seem to happen when using CDOSYS... I'm also setting up a shopping cart (ProductCart) and when using the CDOSYS function for their email script it has also a huge delay, while setting it to CDO it arrives within minutes...
I do not get any errors, all seems to go fine and mail does arrive after +/- 18 hours or so..
Here's the code (personal info marked out of cos):
Code:
<%
option explicit
dim pde : set pde = createobject("scripting.dictionary")
pde.add "%mailing%", "email1@myserver.com"
pde.add "%webmaster%", "email2@myserver.com"
pde.add "%info%", "email3@myserver.com"
pde.add "%email%", "email4@myserver.com"
function getTextFromFile(path)
dim fso, f, txt
set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if not fso.fileexists(path) then
getTextFromFile = ""
exit function
end if
set f = fso.opentextfile(path,1)
if f.atendofstream then txt = "" else txt = f.readall
f.close
set f = nothing
set fso = nothing
getTextFromFile = txt
end function
dim redir, mailto, email, subject, item, body, cc, bcc, message, html, template, usetemplate, testmode
redir = request.form("redirect")
mailto = request.form("mailto")
if pde.exists(mailto) then mailto = pde(mailto)
cc = request.form("cc")
bcc = request.form("bcc")
email = request.form("email")
if email = "" then email = pde("%email%")
subject = request.form("subject")
message = request.form("message")
template = request.form("template")
testmode = lcase(request.form("testmode"))="no"
if len(template) > 0 then template = getTextFromFile(server.mappath(template))
if len(template) > 0 then usetemplate = true else usetemplate = false
dim msg : set msg = server.createobject("CDO.Message")
msg.subject = subject
msg.to = mailto
msg.from = email
if len(cc) > 0 then msg.cc = cc
if len(bcc) > 0 then msg.bcc = bcc
if not usetemplate then
body = body & message & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
else
body = template
end if
for each item in request.form
select case item
case "redirect", "mailto", "cc", "bcc", "subject", "message", "template", "html", "testmode"
case else
if not usetemplate then
if item <> "email" then body = body & item & ": " & request.form(item) & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
else
body = replace(body, "[$" & item & "$]", replace(request.form(item),vbcrlf,"<br>"))
end if
end select
next
if usetemplate then 'remove any leftover placeholders
dim rx : set rx = new regexp
rx.pattern = "\[\$.*\$\]"
rx.global = true
body = rx.replace(body, "")
end if
if usetemplate and lcase(request.form("html")) = "yes" then
msg.htmlbody = body
else
msg.textbody = body
end if
if testmode then
if lcase(request.form("html")) = "yes" then
response.write "<pre>" & vbcrlf
response.write "Mail to: " & mailto & vbcrlf
response.write "Mail from: " & email & vbcrlf
if len(cc) > 0 then response.write "Cc: " & cc & vbcrlf
if len(bcc) > 0 then response.write "Bcc: " & bcc & vbcrlf
response.write "Subject: " & subject & vbcrlf & string(80,"-") & "</pre>"
response.write body
else
response.write "<html><head><title>Sendmail.asp Test Mode</title></head><body><pre>" & vbcrlf
response.write "Mail to: " & mailto & vbcrlf
response.write "Mail from: " & email & vbcrlf
if len(cc) > 0 then response.write "Cc: " & cc & vbcrlf
if len(bcc) > 0 then response.write "Bcc: " & bcc & vbcrlf
response.write "Subject: " & subject & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
response.write string(80,"-") & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "<span style=""color:blue;"">"
response.write body & "</span>" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
response.write string(80,"-") & vbcrlf & "**END OF EMAIL**</pre></body></html>"
end if
else
msg.send
response.redirect redir
end if
set msg = nothing
%>
I also tried adding these lines (and combinations) without any better results:
Code:
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 3535
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") =1
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "email1@myserver.com"
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "abc1234"
Here's a sample of what's used in the forms:
Code:
<form action="/sendmail_cdo.asp" method="post" name="SampleForm" id="SampleForm">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.myserver.com/thanks.htm">
<input name="mailto" type="hidden" id="mailto" value="%webmaster%">
<input name="subject" type="hidden" id="subject" value="Website Form Submission: Sample form from website">
In the html template used with the form, I use [$form_fieldname$] to display the values entered in the forms.
Anyone any ideas? :confused:
