Question : Sending e-mails with CDONTS trough GoDaddy

Hello Experts,

I am using Classic ASP and CDONTS to send out conformation e-mails to customers and it came to my attention that not all e-mails are getting through.

I just called GoDaddy to inquire and they had told me that recepient e-mails with Yahoo, AOL etc. are blocking e-mails from GoDaddy's servers/IP address, and there no fix - so they say.

My client is tourist company and anyone can be a client from all over the world, so we cannot restrict them from using these e-mails.

Is there a workaround to this issue? For example, I am using :
objConfig.Fields.Item(smtpUrl)="relay-hosting.secureserver.net"

Does anyone know more relieble outgoing server?

Would setting up a webserver and/or an exchange server work?

Well, first of all, CDONTS has been discontinued by Microsoft in place of CDO, re-write your code to use CDO Messaging instead.

With CDO you can use any email sending address you want, but if your client is hosting their site on GoDaddy servers then you are out of luck.  I find it hard to believe that Yahoo is blocking messages from those mail servers but I guess anything is possible.  Might I suggest a different hosting server?
