Vista - VBScript to send email not working on 1 server

I have this script that works great on many machines except the one
I'd like to run it on. I think the problem lies with the fact that
the Security Config Wizard has been run on it. What do I need to turn
on in order for this to work? I have opened port 25 on the firewall
but that didn't really work. I think it's a service that I'll need to
start but I'm not sure which...

Function SendEmail(subject, body)
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objEmail.From = "email@xxxxxx"
objEmail.To = "email@xxxxxx"
objEmail.Subject = subject
objEmail.Textbody = body

'Mail configuration
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") =
strMailserver
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") =
25
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Update

'Send E-mail
objEmail.Send

'Write to the event log
Call WriteEvent(subject,body)

End Function


Thanks in advance...

be a password issue. If so then you should send the user's name and his
password to the SMTP server - see below:

Function SendEmail(subject, body)
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objEmail.From = "remy@xxxxxx"
objEmail.To = "remy@xxxxxx"
objEmail.Subject = subject
objEmail.Textbody = body
schema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"

'Mail configuration
With objEmail.configuration.fields
.Item(schema & "sendusing") = 2
.Item(schema & "smtpserver") = strMailserver
.Item(schema & "smtpserverport") = 25
.Item(schema & "sendusername") = "support@xxxxxx"
.Item(schema & "sendpassword") = "abcxyz"
.Update
End With
'Send E-mail
objEmail.Send

If your script does not generate any error messages then you might try and
send a message with blat.exe, using the same parameters. You can download
this tool from a number of sites.

think I'm going to use blat for this particular problem. I'll post
back to let you guys know if this works. Thanks to everyone for the
great help.

test to the smtp server and I can't get in. I'm not sure what to look
at now, definitely a local problem with the box.

===> You might consider reviewing your AV configuration to determine why it
is not the same everywhere. The more permiscuous configurations might be
allowing more than just the odd automated mail message to get through...
