Various reasons it may not be working : -- You are using VBScript - which will run only on Internet Explorer and not on Firefox... (Which browser are you using ?) -- Security restrictions in the browser - doing stuff like sending emails as client javascript / vbscript is generally a bad idea ... browsers will generally not run such code unless you lower the security profile for the browser...

In addition to the browser issues (I suggest you implement the code in JScript) You should also authenticate yourself to the smtp server. Make sure these settings are set set objConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") Set objFlds = objConf.Fields With objFlds .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPort .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = " mail.yourhost.com" .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = cdoBasic .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "your-username" .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "your-password" .Update End With The message object has a configuration property to which you can set this message On Wed, May 20, 2009 at 11:53 AM, <ashok+skunkworks@parliaments.info<ashok%2Bskunkworks@parliaments.info>
