I'm trying to send a test email with Amazon SES but to no luck:
Dim iMsg, iConf, Flds
Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields
Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2
With Flds
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPort
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = True
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1 'basic
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "ABCDE"
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "12345"
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 10
.Update
End With
With iMsg
Set .Configuration = iConf
.To = "[email protected]"
.From = "[email protected]"
.Subject = "test"
.TextBody = "body"
.Send
End With
response.write("sent")
Logging information seems to suggest something wrong with authentication. Unfortunately, I'm not well versed and don't understand what I might be doing wrong.
Response: 250-email-smtp.amazonaws.com
Response: 250-8BITMIME
Response: 250-SIZE 10485760
Response: 250-STARTTLS
Response: 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
Response: 250 Ok
Command: AUTH LOGIN
Response: 530 Must issue a STARTTLS command first
Command: MAIL FROM: [address in verified senders list]
Response: 530 Authentication required
Command: Quit
The solution is in the following:
Response: 530 Must issue a STARTTLS command first
You need to enable a secure connection before you authenticate. You have already enabled SSL through your configuration:
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = True
Change this to:
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = 1
(notice the change from True to 1)
