Create object instance

Use CreateObject in VBS and new ActiveXObject in JScript to create object instances.

[vbs]
Dim oSmtp
Set oSmtp = CreateObject("AOSMTP.Mail")

[jscript]
var oSmtp = new ActiveXObject("AOSMTP.Mail");

Simple project to send email

The following sample demonstrates how to send email in VBS.

[VBS]
Dim oSmtp
set oSmtp = CreateObject("AOSMTP.Mail")

Sub Send( From, Recipient, Subject, Body, Server )
  NORMAL_RECIPIENT = 0
  COPY_RECIPIENT = 1
  BLIND_COPY_RECIPIENT = 2

  TEXT_PLAIN = 0
  TEXT_HTML = 1	

  oSmtp.RegisterKey = "Your license key"
  oSmtp.Reset
  oSmtp.FromAddr = From
  oSmtp.Subject = Subject
  oSmtp.BodyFormat = TEXT_PLAIN
  oSmtp.BodyText = Body
  oSmtp.ServerAddr = Server

  oSmtp.AddRecipient Recipient, Recipient, NORMAL_RECIPIENT
  
  ' | add cc recipient
  ' | oSmtp.AddRecipient "test", "test@hotmail.com", COPY_RECIPIENT
	
  ' | add bcc recipient
  ' | oSmtp.AddRecipient "test", "test@hotmail.com", BLIND_COPY_RECIPIENT

  ' | ESMTP authentication
  ' | oSmtp.UserName = "your user name"
  ' | oSmtp.Password = "your password"
	
  ' | -- add file attachment -- |
  ' oSmtp.AddAttachment "c:\test.doc" 

  If oSmtp.SendMail() = 0 Then
    WScript.Echo "Sending email to " & Recipient & " succeeded!"
  Else
    WScript.Echo oSmtp.GetLastErrDescription()
  End If
End Sub

WScript.Echo "Please edit this file and input sender, recipient, subject, body and smtp server" 
'Send "dennis@hotmail.com", "support@adminsystem.net", "test subject", "test body", "127.0.0.1"

We usually reply emails in 24hours. The reason for getting no response is likely that your smtp server bounced our reply. In this case, please try to use another email address to contact us. Your Hotmail or Yahoo email account is recommended.
