For what it's worth, here is the code I'm using with GMail. Tested few minutes ago and working:

Sub SendGMail()

' Object creation

Set objMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

Set msgConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

' Server Configuration

msgConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2

msgConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"

msgConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465

msgConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1

msgConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "user@gmail.com"

msgConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "password"

msgConf.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = 1

msgConf.Fields.Update

' Email

objMsg.To = "user@gmail.com"

objMsg.From = "fromuser@domain.com"

objMsg.Subject = "Test send with Gmail account"

objMsg.HTMLBody = "HTML/Plain text message."

objMsg.Sender = "Mr. Name"

Set objMsg.Configuration = msgConf

' Send

objMsg.Send

' Clear

Set objMsg = nothing

Set msgConf = nothing

End Sub

Hope that helps.

Hi,

You need to add the "Use SSL" as required by Google

objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = 1 ' True will work as well


Hope that helps.

Marco

Hello Marco,

It's working fine for me from GMail to Yahoo mail. Anyway, check that the line

objMsg.From = "fromuser@domain.com"

Is properly configured.

If you are using your Exchange server instead of the gmail one, you should check your anti-relay and anti-spam rules, but it doesn't make much sense to me since most of the time mails are sent to people in different domains.

Hope that helps.

Hello Miguel,

i try from your script but got an error message "The transport failed to connect to the server."

sub SendEmail(attachment)

          Dim strMailTo

          Dim ObjSendMail

          Set objSelected = ActiveDocument.Fields("EMAILIDS").GetPossibleValues

          if objSelected.Count = 0 then

                    msgbox ("No e-mail reciepient selected")

                    exit sub

          else

                    varSubject = "Report"

                    varTextBody = "Please find report attached"

                    varAttachment = attachment

                    Set ObjSendMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

                    ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2

                    ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "172.16.10.63"

                    ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25

                    ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Update

                    ObjSendMail.AddAttachment varAttachment

                    For i = 0 to objSelected.Count-1

                              ObjSendMail.To = objSelected.item(i).Text

                              ObjSendMail.Subject = varSubject

                              ObjSendMail.From = "admin@qlikview.co.id"

                              ObjSendMail.TextBody = varTextBody

                              ObjSendMail.Send

                    next

                    Set ObjSendMail = Nothing

          end if

end sub

this's my code for email exchange..

Hello Mario,

If you take a look at your configuration fields, you are only using three (sendusing, smtpserver and smtpserverport). In my example code above (that is the one I'm using for testing) there are few more, and along them are the user logged into the smtp server (sendusername, sendpassword), what it seems is one of the issues you are having.

Use them in your code with yoour configuration and try again.

Hope that helps.
