Write different code?

Seriously, there is nothing special about sending emails to Outlook, Thunderbird, The Bat, . It all depends on what your LS code does to generate and send the mail. Given, that the Domino server running your code can send emails to the desired recipients at all.

Here’s the code… it works when sending mail from notes to a notes mailbox… any ideas?

	Set maildoc  = New NotesDocument( db )

	Set rtitem = New NotesRichTextItem(maildoc, "Body")

	

	maildoc.Form = "Memo"

	

	maildoc.Subject = "Subject blah blah"

	

	Call rtitem.AddNewLine( 2 )

	Call rtitem.AppendText( "Please find attachment....????")

	Call rtitem.AddNewLine( 2 )

	Set object = rtitem.embedobject(EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", filename)	

	Call rtitem.AddNewLine( 2 )

	Call rtitem.AppendText( "Thank you,")

	Call rtitem.AddNewLine( 2 )

	Call rtitem.AppendText( "??????")

	Call rtitem.AddNewLine( 2 )

	Call maildoc.Send( False, recipients )

What’s in recipients? Do you get any dead mails in the server’s mail.box? Can your server even send email to Internet recipients?

Overall the code looks fine. Are you able to send an e-mail to the person without code? The Internet? Maybe the problem is something other than the code?

The problem maybe what is “recipients” declared as and set to?

A common mistake, I’ve seen people make is:

Dim recipients as String

recipients = “me@hotmail.com,you@yahoo.com”

…

Call maildoc.Send( False,recipients )

As recipients needs to be a string array for more than one name. A quick fix would be:

Dim recipients as String

Dim recVar as Variant

recipients = “me@hotmail.com,you@yahoo.com”

recVar = split( recipients, “,”)

…

Call maildoc.Send( False, recVar )
